Minister of Public Security Yitzhak Aharonovitch announced Saturday that the boss of a major Israeli crime organization was arrested along with six of his men, two days after the latest mob-related assassination attempt struck Tel Aviv.
Aharonovitch said that police unit Lahav 433 — a special unit created specifically to combat organized crime, also known as the “Israeli FBI” — made the arrests Saturday.
Channel 2 reported that the mob boss in question was Shalom Domrani, whose crime ring operates mainly in the south.
Domrani and his men were arrested on suspicion of extortion, according to the report, and of trying to influence municipal elections in the city of Netivot.
Aharonovitch spoke about police efforts to fight organized crime, revealing that he and his family have been living under threat from mob figures for the past four years.
During an interview on Channel 2 Saturday, the minister said that over 100 law enforcement officials in Israel were also living under that threat.
“We are waging a war [against organized crime] and it won’t end in a day or a month,” he said.
Aharonovitch said that police already have “400 figures from the criminal underworld” behind bars and promised that the heads of all major crime organizations would follow suit.
“I’ve been very clear, we must be given the tools. This is terrorism in every sense and we will fight it,” he promised.
The arrests came two days after an attempt on the life of a state attorney in Tel Aviv on Thursday, in yet another incident believed to be linked to organized crime.
No one was hurt in the explosion. It was unclear if Domrani has been linked to that attack.
