Crime and celebrity Kan previews investigation

Oct 1

Kan previews Daniel Elazar's forthcoming Saturday News investigation of the cultural elevation of criminals, from the Pink Suitcases case to Simon Leviev. A victim's attorney and communications and criminology experts discuss manipulation, audience attraction and rapid lying. The trailer includes victims' loan accounts, Leviev's dismissive denials, and an allegation that a woman complained to police after he led her to take bank loans of hundreds of thousands of shekels. Elazar challenges him over an agreement; Leviev denies having it and allows possible forgery, while another interviewee calls it authentic. The teaser is a coherent preview, not proof of the allegation, document authenticity, complaint date or completed broadcast of the full investigation.
