Gad Ze’evi was a main reason of ten years of any sort of social and financial harassments for Bagsik & Gasiorowski and their families. Fighting for power and money, he was using well known in this country tactic of personal extermination of the opponents, their financial resources, family life, trying to achieve his goal by any possible means.

In 1991
Gad Ze’evi was proposed by the “Polish Group” (Bagsik –
Gasiorowski) to re-purchase PAZ Oil Company from Polish Group for the
price of 10Mill USD less than the “Polish Group” had paid half
year ago. Inclusive was a very attractive condition of payment which
was in 8 installments during the next 4 years. But Gad Ze’evi wanted
to have all the company without payment. After signing the contract
with Bagsik and Gasiorowski,
he started a 3 year long spectacle of courts and arbitrations against
Bagsik and Gasiorowski, thus freezing their assets and making them
impossible to sell the PAZ company to other buyers. He and one of the
most powerful lawyers in Israel, Yigal Arnon and others
made several trips to Poland. By using privately Israeli diplomatic
channels, they contacted high Polish officials, people from the Polish
and Israeli media, politicians, security and intelligence. They
purposed to initialize all sorts of action in order to start
extraditing procedures against Gasiorowski and Bagsik. Hoping this
would force them to make compromise in court. Ze'evi signed a secret
agreement with the Polish Ministry of Finance to cooperate in hunting
for Gasiorowski and Bagsik trying to trace their assets, in order to
extradite them to Poland. He placed several lawyers on his payroll
(Jews born in Poland), business-people, politicians, etc. In Israel
Gad used his connections with Mossad, Shabak, Ministry of Energy,
Finance, etc. Gad was forcing progress in extraditing procedures. But
despite all the harassment and the extreme difficulties with life's
situation Gasiorowski and Bagsik did not compromise in court. Gad
Ze’evi lost 7.5 mill USD in down payment, and the rights to block
PAZ shares and other assets of Gasiorowski and Bagsik. However, costs
of defending consumed most of the amounts. PAZ OIL company was sold
back half year later to the Liberman family by Bagsik and Gasiorowski
for quarter of the price. Most of the funds that were still blocked by
the Polish government, and were
finally transferred back to Poland, as per an achieved agreement with
the Polish government.
