Israeli police say that modeling agent Shai Avital is slated to be extradited from the Netherlands to Israel next week to face multiple sex crime charges.
According to the Tel Aviv Police Department, Avital — who was arrested in Amsterdam in August after close to a year as a fugitive — is expected to arrive in Israel on January 3.
Israel based its extradition request on two allegations made against Avital of indecent acts, out of 26 total complaints accusing him of rape and other sexual offenses.
