He had given me power of attorney not only for the olive grove, but for many of his works. However, he later canceled these powers. That’s why I got a grudge against him.

When he got out of prison, he took over his olive grove, but the hostility between us was not over. I went to talk in May. We started arguing over there because of the same things.
