Israel issues a request to the Netherlands to extradite Shai Avital, a modeling agent wanted on multiple charges of sex abuse.
After evading justice for months, Avital was arrested last month in the Netherlands on 26 charges of sexual harassment and abuse.
A Dutch Court ruled two weeks ago to keep Avital in custody, with the judge explaining that his ruling was necessary to prevent Avital from fleeing the country.
