Until his wife spoke: How the gymnastics coach accused of sex crimes' version collapsed

The head of the investigations unit at the Masovim station reveals how the testimony of gymnastics coach Yevgeny Yordonov's wife, along with additional evidence, strengthened the complainants' versions and led to a breakthrough in the investigation of sex crimes against him.

The head of the investigations unit at the Masovim station, Superintendent Roni Carmel, reveals how the testimony of gymnastics coach Yevgeny Yordonov's wife, along with additional evidence, strengthened the complainants' versions and led to a breakthrough in the investigation. About a month after the indictment was filed, it turns out that his wife Carmit gave a version that refuted her husband's claims and incriminated him. The first complainant arrived in May 2026 and described events from 2016 to 2026, some abroad. Later, two more complainants joined. The coach initially tried to deny, but his wife's eyewitness testimony to an incident in 2020 caused him to change his version.
