Israelis who ran international organ trafficking ring sentenced to jail
The Beersheba District Court sentences two men convicted of organ trafficking to four and five years in prison for their role in an international trafficking ring.
Dr. Michael Ziss is sentenced to five years in prison and ordered to pay NIS 300,000 ($85,00) in damages, while Shlomi Biton is sentenced to four years and NIS 60,000 ($17,000).
Ziss and Biton were convicted last year of running an trafficking ring in Israel and Turkey between 2012-2014.
Both were sentenced and convicted as part of a plea bargain.
