Tel Aviv, Israel -- A Tel Aviv District Court Monday convicted four people of assaulting two entertainment industry executives on behalf of the late entertainer Dudu Topaz.

Ynetnews.com said Topaz was arrested May 31 and subsequently confessed to orchestrating the attacks on Reshet and Keshet executives Avi Nir and Shira Margalit. Topaz committed suicide in his prison cell Aug. 20.

An indictment issued against him June 18 said Topaz had "resolved in his heart to take revenge on the senior media officials whom he blamed for the slump in his career."

Daniel Zanko was convicted on charges of assault and conspiring to commit a crime.
