Two Sydney real estate agents have been suspended from their positions following the discovery of deeply offensive anti-Semitic voice messages left for a colleague.
Judd Andrew and Andrew Dimashki, both agents at Ray White's Beverley Hills office, have been removed from their roles after an internal investigation revealed shocking racist remarks directed at fellow agent Michael Ziv.
Disturbing Messages Surface
The controversy erupted when Mr Ziv discovered multiple voice messages containing vile anti-Jewish slurs and references to the Holocaust. In one particularly disturbing recording, the agents can be heard making offensive comments about Jewish people and mocking their heritage.
'This type of behaviour has no place in our business or society,' a Ray White spokesperson stated. 'We have taken immediate action to address this serious matter.'
Immediate Suspension and Investigation
Ray White management moved quickly upon learning of the incident, suspending both agents pending a full investigation. The company has emphasised its zero-tolerance policy towards discrimination and racism in any form.
The real estate giant has launched a comprehensive review of the incident and is cooperating fully with industry regulatory bodies. The suspension prevents both agents from practising real estate while the investigation continues.
Industry and Community Reaction
The incident has sent shockwaves through Sydney's real estate community and drawn condemnation from industry leaders. Many have expressed support for Mr Ziv and praised Ray White's swift response to the situation.
Community groups have also voiced their concern, highlighting the need for continued education and awareness about religious tolerance in professional environments.
The case serves as a stark reminder that discriminatory behaviour carries serious consequences, even in casual workplace interactions.
