The jury in the New York rape trial of
Harvey Weinstein has heard that the once-powerful movie mogul employed the Israeli private investigation firm
Black Cube to try to squash a New York Times article that blew the lid on sexual misconduct allegations against him and sparked the
#MeToo movement.
Dev Sen, a corporate lawyer at the prestigious New York law firm Boies Schiller Flexner, told the court that his company had acted as go-between connecting the beleaguered movie producer to Black Cube. The private detective firm has a staff largely consisting of alumni of the Israeli intelligence agency
Mossad.
