Prosecutors to charge 22 people suspected of running marijuana marketplace

Police wrap up their investigation into virtual marijuana marketplace Telegrass, with prosecutors set to file charges against 22 suspects in the coming days for operating the network.

Police last month effectively shut down Telegrass, which operates on the Telegram messaging application, with the arrest of 42 suspected members in Israel, the United States, Ukraine and Germany, including founder Amos Dov Silver.

Prosecutors will request that those being charged remain in custody until the end of legal proceedings.
