Hours after a large police force moved into Meah Shearim on Tuesday morning making a number of arrests, corporate officials at Electra told the press that company attorneys are contemplating a NIS multimillion lawsuit against those responsible for the ban on Electra products in the community, including Yolish Krauss. Police announced that among the items recovered during the raid was an Electra scooter, apparently stolen by those involved in protests against the company.
Electra officials now feel they may have a case, suing Yolish Krauss, the Eida’s operations officer and others for the loss of business incurred by the company as a direct result of their boycott. Electra officials add that now it is clear to all, that those involved are nothing but gangsters and people who shakedown community store owners for profit.
Kikar Shabbat reports speaking with Yolish’s wife, who questioned just what authorities want from them. “If they want him for questioning they can summon him and he will come’ she is quoted as saying. “Why do they have to create the mess in our home? Why do they have to arrest my husband like a criminal?”
The wife insists Yolish no longer runs the slaughterhouse operation, but others do. He came to the conclusion that ultimately, it will be harmful to him. “Yesterday Yolish consulted with an attorney and they made an official request to receive a permit to operate the slaughterhouse, including all paperwork required by tax authorities. It is imperative at this time as the Aseres Yimei Tshuva are upon us and the entire community will turn to the slaughter house for kaporos. She explained that the community residents must observe the shechitah and that is their standard and this will not change, so arrangements must be made.

I would guess that he put up a few people to front for him so that the he can try to look innocent. But we see that he is still in charge as the next sentence says
“Yesterday Yolish consulted with an attorney and they made an official request to receive a permit to operate the slaughterhouse,”
Liars eventually get caught up in their lies.
Bunch of gangsters isn’t the word. Its really time that these people learn that there are consequences for your actions.
MDG: This whole story itself is a lie from beginning until end.
The ban on Electra was made by the eideh not yoilish. And no body should stick up for Electra for being mecholel kivrei yisroel. Bunch of low lifes in the state !!!
Peacemaker,
So what is the truth?
Kaporos?! first do Teshuva! Then you can do Kaporos! They are so concerned about Shechita, but not about the welfare of fellow Jews! Shame on them! The Eidah, Yoilish, his wife, and the residents of Meah Shearim. They should all be sitting in jail, and miserable, as they are making everyone elses lives miserable! Mida Kneged Mida!
Yissi
Its all about money…the eida is a huge business raking in hundreds of millions of dollars for services that are not necessarily required…
‘Why do they have to create the mess in our home? Why do they have to arrest my husband like a criminal?”
Is she that oblivious?
“Is she that oblivious?”
How honest do you think her husband is? Do you think he goes out every morning telling her that he extorts, threatens, etc? He probably has some euphemisms for all that.
“like” a criminal??!!?
Yoel Kraus was arrested NOT for learning too much Rambam and NOT for Davening with too much Kavana – he was arrested because he is always the instigator of rock throwing and stirring up trouble in Yerushalaim. He has no problem in always “Tshapan Zich” with other Yidden and cause them harm. No Leshaim Shomim here whatsoever!
