The British medical equipment company Edge Medical claims that it fell victim to a stinging exercise in the first wave of the corona outbreak by an Israeli marketing company. According to Edge Medical, the Israeli perfumery company registered in Zichron Yaacov, undertook in the contract to provide it with 550,000 face masks in a strict standard in just a few days, in exchange for a high price. This is according to a lawsuit in the amount of NIS 4.7 million filed today (Tuesday) by the British company in the Central District Court in Lod against Premieri and its shareholders, Tal Chen and Liat Kochavi.
In the lawsuit, the British company describes the conduct of the Israeli company, which it calls a "real fraudulent exercise." According to the British company, with the outbreak of the global corona epidemic, the defendants were to provide it with respiratory protective masks in a short time in the FFP2 standard (the European standard corresponding to the N95). The set price was $ 2.73 per mask, for a total of $ 1.5 million.
 "There is an urgent shortage of masks and medical equipment in many countries around the world. The plaintiffs have presented themselves as being able to supply masks quickly and to the required standard, within almost immediate delivery times.
According to the British company, it "fell into the trap" after paying in two installments, in late March and early April, the full consideration. "These sums of money were sent - and there are no masks. The defendants did not deliver the masks within four days, nor in double or triple time. Even after many weeks, after the demand for masks had faded, and the agreement had already lost relevance and expired."
According to the British company, after seeing that the masks were ready to arrive, it signed an additional contract with the Israeli company, according to which it will be paid $ 500,000, with Perfumery holding $ 1 million until the masks are delivered by the end of April 2020. is nothing".
"Throughout the period from the signing of the first agreement," the lawsuit alleges, "the defendants consistently made repeated false representations, amounting to a real scam, or a real fraudulent exercise, and repeatedly assured that the actual delivery of the masks 'another moment' is underway, presenting different deadlines. "False upon lying in order to spread time, when the money sent loses its traces and disappears."
The plaintiffs further claim that Israeli society also allegedly committed criminal acts. "The defendants sent the defendant a forged document that was presumed to be a bank transfer confirmation in the amount of $ 900,000, a bank transfer that was never made. The document turned out to be false."
