Court extends remand for deputy mayor suspected in 1999 mob killing

The Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court extends the remand of a deputy mayor in an unidentified northern town over police suspicions that he may have been involved in the mob-linked murder of a fellow criminal in 1999.

The deputy mayor’s remand is extended by four days.

The victim in the case is Arthur Rozen, killed in 1999.

Channel 2 cites the judge in the case saying he does not believe there is sufficient evidence to indict the man over the 18-year-old murder, but that there is nevertheless sufficient evidence to grant police four more days’ custody to build their case.
