The story · English

Israeli police have cracked a serious case involving extortion and money laundering totaling over 10 million shekels, stemming from the operation of illegal gambling dens. Three suspects have been arrested: a man in his 30s from the central region, and a couple from Jaffa. Investigators raided three gambling establishments located in Ramat Gan and Bnei Brak, detained players, and seized gambling equipment. The suspects had been running these illegal operations for an extended period, generating profits exceeding 10 million shekels.

Furthermore, the investigation uncovered severe extortion incidents where the suspects allegedly threatened a dealer with murder, assaulted him, and demanded 100,000 shekels. A serious indictment is expected to be filed against the three individuals.
