Authorities close a probe into the death of a woman who died in November after falling from a building. She was being investigated in a massive diamond smuggling probe, and her family had denied suicide and had alleged abuse by police.

According to authorities, Mazal Hadadi, a bookkeeper with diamond firm LLD belonging to billionaire Lev Leviev, died after jumping from the 10th floor of the Diamond Exchange Building in Ramat Gan.

Rejecting claims of foul play, the state prosecution says that an investigation yielded no evidence of criminal involvement in Hadadi’s death.

In a statement, the State Prosecutor’s Office says it won’t go into details due to privacy concerns, and adds it has informed Hadadi’s family of the decision.
