Police believe real estate businessman Eldad Peri was shot dead in Rehovot Friday by a mob ring he owed money to, Channel 12 news reports.

Police have reportedly made progress in their investigation into Peri’s murder outside a synagogue early Friday morning, and have identified a potential suspect. Police sources told the network Peri had been under surveillance by his killers prior to the murder.

Peri’s real estate business had gone bankrupt over debts worth hundreds of millions of shekels, and he himself was in deep personal debt as well.
