CHICAGO — A man who owns an import business is suing Israel-based Ofer Mizrahi Ltd. and Ofer Mizrahi Diamonds Inc. for alleged fraud.

David Cohen, who wholly owns Zion Importing & Manufacturing, filed a complaint on Jan. 29 in Cook County Circuit Court, alleging the defendants sold him a diamond without informing him it had been laser-drilled, and was thus worth less than he had been led to believe.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and judgment against the defendants, $1.5 million in treble and punitive damages, court costs, interest and any further relief this court grants. He is represented by Mark Hammervold of Hammervold PLC in Nashville, Tenn.

Cook County Circuit Court case number 2018L000985
