Crime Boss Eran Haya to Be Extradited to Israel from US

Eran Haya, identified as a prominent Israeli crime boss, is set to be extradited from the United States to Israel in the coming days. A court in New York approved Israel Police's request to extradite Haya, who is currently detained in a U.S. prison.

Haya is wanted by Israeli authorities for several offenses, most notably his alleged involvement in a foiled assassination attempt on rival crime figure Eli Mosli. The plot reportedly involved a large explosive device intended for Mosli in central Israel. This attempt was thwarted at the last minute, leading to the recruitment of an informant from Haya's organization by the Tel Aviv District Police.

According to suspicions, the informant implicated Haya as the mastermind behind the assassination plan. Haya, who holds multiple citizenships, has operated both within and outside Israel for an extended period. His organization is engaged in a prolonged and violent feud with the Mosli crime family, prompting extensive police efforts to apprehend him.

Upon his arrival at Ben Gurion Airport, Haya will be met by detectives from the Tel Aviv District Police and Lahav 433, a special investigative unit. He will be taken directly to court, where police will seek to extend his detention for further investigation into the charges against him.
