Police to compensate crime boss NIS 10,000 over disputed arrest

The Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court approves a compromise deal that will see police compensate gang leader Amir Mulner NIS 10,000 ($2,800) over a disputed arrest last year.

A known crime figure in Israel, Mulner filed a NIS 2.5 million lawsuit for what he claimed was an illegal August 2016 arrest during which the police didn’t identify themselves as such.

State prosecutors denied wrongdoing during Mulner’s arrest, but agreed to the compromise at the recommendation of the judge, who reprimanded the arresting officers for their conduct.
