Shai Avital lands in Israel to face a slew of sexual assault and rape allegations following his extradition from the Netherlands, 18 months after Israeli police first sought to investigate the modeling agent.
Avital flew from Amsterdam to Tel Aviv accompanied by Tel Aviv Police representatives, following the decision of a Dutch court in November to extradite him to Israel.
Hebrew-language media outlets publish footage of Avital sitting at the back of a commercial flight, alongside two security guards. Avital, who was uncuffed, can be seen smiling in response to reporters’ questions.
