Eyal Rosen, suspected of embezzling over 9 million shekels from the public company Gibui Achzakot where he held a senior position, was extradited from Portugal to Israel on October 22. The State Prosecutor's Office and the Israel Securities Authority announced the development. Investigators allege Rosen employed complex fraud schemes to misappropriate company funds and subsequently laundered the money. He is also accused of forging corporate documents and submitting false information in company reports to investors.
Rosen left Israel in 2022 before the Securities Authority's public investigation began. His whereabouts were eventually discovered with Interpol's assistance, leading to his arrest in Portugal. Portuguese authorities approved his extradition on October 4, 2026. Police and Securities Authority representatives escorted Rosen back to Israel. The investigation is being conducted jointly with the Tel Aviv District Prosecutor's Office and the international department of the State Prosecutor's Office.
