Comments on: Not Kosher: Hot Dog Company Owner Arnie Zaler Flees to Israel to Avoid 30 Counts of Fraud in Denver http://jonathanturley.org/2008/12/30/not-kosher-hot-dog-company-owner-arnie-zaler-flees-to-israel-to-avoid-30-counts-of-fruad-in-denver/ Res ipsa loquitur ("The thing itself speaks") Mon, 28 May 2012 11:41:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Hugh http://jonathanturley.org/2008/12/30/not-kosher-hot-dog-company-owner-arnie-zaler-flees-to-israel-to-avoid-30-counts-of-fruad-in-denver/#comment-32912 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 08:01:02 +0000 http://jonathanturley.org/?p=6708#comment-32912 In the 50s the Knesset passed legislation to allow the government to exercise discretion and choose to allow extradition of a national. The most famous case then was of Meyer Lansky, the crime boss.

My guess is that Zaler will end up being sent back to the US — he already has a criminal record and, in particular, a record of defrauding Jews — not something that’s going to endear him to Israeli authorities.

That is a great name for the restaurant! Mespo,Thanks for your answer. I wonder if the prosecutor will hear from his/her supervisor concerning the silence on the bond issue?

Do you like the black or the gray waist coat with it? I actually have my eye on one from Gieves & Hawkes. I mentioned them in my response to Jason on another thread. Now that’s great clothing.

“Zaler is reportedly now in Jerusalem and planning to open a restaurant there next month.”

I recommend the name for his new restaurant to be “On the Lamb.”

And to answer your question it is very unusual for a guy with this type of history and on these charges (30 counts?) to get pre-trial release without a whimper from the prosecutor.

I suspect that our happy hot dog vendor was using temporary passport documents from Israel. He apparently handed over his US Passport and some Israeli documents to the Court as a condition of release, but I feel certain this accomplished conman either held back a set or used another forged name on these documents to make them appear genuine. Sort of like Bogart in Casablanca with those infamous “letters of transit,” made out in blank.

I lost my wallet and had to get mine replaced and my BMV wanted another photo ID (all was lost with my wallet). When I said that I did not have any, since it had all been in my wallet, I asked if they could look me up and I was informed that they could not look up my license and see that it was me, because they needed another photo ID to be sure. I even knew the gal behind the counter!! But these are Indiana laws and I guess they’re that way for a reason.

How can someone get out of the country with a fake passport with the watch lists in place? If it is so easy to get out with a fake passport, how tough can it be to get in with a fake passport? Maybe Mespo can answer this question. Was this normal for someone facing so many counts to be allowed to be free on an unsecured bond? I smell a rat here.

Like most European countries Israel will not extradite ts citizens. Usually we see a US citizen go to Israel and then claim Israeli citizenship based on the Israeli citizenship of either parent. This reared its ugly head in 1999 during the infamous case of Samuel Sheinbein, whose extradition for murder was refused on these grounds despite his utter lack of affiliation with Israel. Sheinbein was tried in Israel.

I wouldn’t have let him go being such a flight risk.

Couldn’t they tell this guy was a real wiener?
