A Charedi man will “almost inevitably” face a jail sentence after he admitted lying to a judge in civil divorce proceedings.
Appearing at Harrow Crown Court today, Moshe Charazi, of Stamford Hill, London, pleaded guilty to two counts of perjury, but denied one count of perverting the course of justice. He will be sentenced on June 23.
He admitted deceiving a judge in getting a divorce, claiming not to know his wife’s whereabouts or that she claimed he had fathered her child.
Charazi was accused of “circumventing the law” in obtaining a civil divorce, after negotiations with his wife over a get stalled. He claimed she had sought approximately £385,000 for child maintenance. Charazi disputes he is the father of her child and his name does not appear on the birth certificate.
