In November, a Peruvian paper reported that the countryโ€™s chief prosecutor was seeking to impound $8 million from a Swiss bank account belonging to an Israeli named Moshe Rothschild. Rothschild, a former fighter pilot from Kibbutz Gvaram, was termed โ€œIsraelโ€™s biggest arms dealerโ€ by the Israeli media back in the 1990s.

 

After serving as a pilot during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Rothschild backpacked through South America in the late 1970s. A charming adventurer, he made friends everywhere he went. In Lima, the Peruvian capital, he wormed his way into the cityโ€™s business elite; one of his friends was Israeli-Peruvian businessman Baruch Ivcher, in whose mattress factory he later worked.

 

When Alberto Fujimori became president of Peru in 1990, Rothschild drew close to him and started being involved in arms deals. He also forged ties with the local intelligence chief, Vladimiro Montesinos.

 

In the early 2000s, the Peruvian government went public with accusations against Rothschild that revealed the scope of his globe-spanning arms deals. He is suspected of involvement in the sale to the Peruvian government of 36 MiG-29 and Sukhoi Su-25 jets that he bought in Belarus after the fall of the Communist government there. He also sold helicopters and cargo planes from Belarus to the Peruvian air force and police. In addition, he brokered deals to supply spare parts for aircraft and wiretapping equipment from Israel. Meanwhile, he was allegedly bribing his good friend Montesinos.

 

Rothschild returned to Israel and, at one point, was on Interpolโ€™s wanted list, but Peru never submitted an extradition request for him.

 

Today, Rothschild reportedly lives in a large house he bought in Ganei Yehuda. According to the Israeli Corporations Authority, he owns eight high-tech and communications companies, all based in Yehud.

 

Rothschild also sold arms after leaving Peru, according to a report by Yossi Melman in Haaretz. In 2003, he sold two French helicopters that had been upgraded by the Israeli firm Elbit Systems to the Ivory Coast. Rothschild told Melman that the allegations against him in Peru were false, and stemmed from the new governmentโ€™s political persecution of its predecessor.
