Eyal Rosen, the former director of the public company Givu, was extradited from Portugal to Israel on Thursday, October 22, 2026. The State Prosecutor's Office International Department reported that Rosen is suspected of embezzling over 9 million shekels from company funds, as well as fraud and money laundering.
Rosen is the main figure in an investigation led by the Israel Securities Authority's Investigations, Intelligence, and Trading Supervision Department. Investigators believe he used complex schemes to transfer money and concealed his actions by submitting false and misleading information in official company reports to investors. The charges against him include theft by an authorized person, aggravated fraudulent acquisition of property, corporate document forgery, money laundering, and severe violations of securities law.
Rosen left Israel in 2022, before the Securities Authority officially launched its investigation. He was sought abroad by a joint effort of the State Prosecutor's Office International Department and the Interpol unit of the Israeli police. After his location was identified in Portugal, extradition proceedings began, with Portuguese authorities officially approving his extradition in early October.
Rosen was brought back to Israel on Thursday by police and Securities Authority officials.
