Israel's 'most wanted gang leader' arrested in SA

Israeli fugitive, who they describe as Israel's most sought gang leader, was apprehended by South African authorities.

According to a police statement, he was apprehended in a Johannesburg neighborhood together with seven other people during an early morning house raid.

The Abergil Organization, a criminal organization in Israel, is thought to have ties to the 46-year-old guy. According to reports, the gang engages in drug trafficking, extortion, and other illegal acts.

Since 2015, the alleged gang boss has been on Interpol's red alert list. He is sought in Israel for attempted murder and murder conspiracy.

He will not be identified by the authorities until his court appearance, which is scheduled for 48 hours from now.

During the operation, the police recovered three possibly stolen motorcycles, seven pistols, and five assault rifles.
