Israeli extradited from Argentina to face attempted murder charge
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Israeli is extradited to Israel from Argentina to face trial for attempted murder and conspiracy.
The Justice Ministry says the suspect was met at the airport by officers from the Lahav 433 serious crime unit and will appear at the Petah Tikva Magistrate’s Court on Friday for a hearing on the extension of his remand.
The Justice Ministry did not name the suspect, but the Ynet news site reported it was Yaakov “Akka” Shimon, a member of the notorious Abergil crime family.
Israel Police announced in December he had been arrested by Argentinean police after an international warrant was issued by the State Attorney’s Office on charges of attempted murder and conspiracy.
