Cops arrested on suspicion of passing information to underworld family

Former and current police officers are among five suspects arrested on suspicion of leaking information to a known crime family, the Justice Ministry’s Department for Internal Police Investigations says.

The family in question is the Musli family, according to Ynet, a powerful crime syndicate whose kingpin, Yossi Musli, was released from prison earlier this year.

The five suspects were arrested today on suspicion of bribery, fraud, breach of trust and violations of privacy protection law, DIPI says.

The suspects will be brought to the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court tomorrow for a hearing on their continued detention.
