[[Yaacov Meridor]] was a long-time friend of [[Menachem Begin]], who served as a minister without portfolio in Begin's government. He was involved in various businesses with [[South Africa]] through [[Transkei]], raking in commissions from countries that sought to bypass the boycott on [[South Africa]] by dealing through Transkei. Everything had to go through Meridor or a company he owned, including [[Degem]], which was actually controlled by [[Israel|Israel]]'s military intelligence and provided computer services to the [[South Africa|South Africans]] and to [[Guatemala]].[^1]
