Namibian authorities have arrested two Israeli citizens, Mali Yahalomi and her daughter Liel, on suspicion of possessing forged passports. The arrests occurred approximately two months after Israeli police announced they had found the pair in Argentina, following an extensive search involving security and police agencies from both within and outside Israel. The mother and daughter had disappeared suddenly days before being located in Argentina.
The Israeli police are aware of the arrests but stated that the handling of the case falls under Namibian jurisdiction. A police source told the Hebrew newspaper Maariv, "We have representatives all over the world. We are aware of the event, but dealing with it is not within our purview." The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the accuracy of the information regarding the arrests. A photo of Mali and Liel Yahalomi was published by the Israeli Embassy in Austria.
