Six indicted over Population Registry data theft

After Bialik's contract with the ministry ended in 2006, he began to provide computing services to an ultra-Orthodox organization in Jerusalem, and allegedly installed the database on computers there.

At this stage, the indictment said, the database ended up in the hands of Leiver, who renamed it aRi and sold it to several overseas internet sites.

The Justice Ministry's Law

The Justice Ministry's Law, Information and Innovation Authority began to probe the case in 2009, following a police investigation that yielded no results. Over the course of the investigation they compiled mountains of evidence from hard drives, hard discs and cloud-computing storage.
