Erez Daleyot
Erez Daleyot is a Belgian-Israeli diamond dealer, who may have once controlled one-third of all trade in diamonds.[1]
In 2006, after the arrest of New York-based diamond dealer Jacob Arabo (known as "Jacob the Jeweler") on charges of laundering $270 million in drug money, it was reported that Daleyot was one of his financiers and owned 50% of his jewellery business.[2]
In December 2015, Daleyot was arrested in Johannesburg on fraud charges, and released on bail.[1]
In February 2016, the Antwerp Court of Appeals declared his former company, D.D. Manufacturing, bankrupt, owing about $230 million,[3] while Daleyot is allegedly "hiding out in Israel or South Africa".[3]
