Three residents of the Krayot region have been indicted for breaking into the apartment of a childless woman who passed away in 2018, and hiding weapons, drugs, and counterfeit money materials within it. The indictment, filed by the State Attorney's Office at the Haifa District Court, also charges two of the defendants with extorting a woman. Meir Assulin, 23, from Kiryat Bialik, Shahar Saadiaev, 39, and Elad Sandrovich, 33, both from Kiryat Ata, allegedly entered the deceased woman's apartment on multiple occasions. They initially hid a loaded handgun with 16 bullets and cocaine and cannabis in her kitchen cabinet. Police later replaced the weapon and drugs with dummy items and non-narcotic substances.

Just hours after the police operation, all three defendants allegedly returned to the apartment, bringing another loaded handgun with three bullets, which they also concealed in the kitchen cabinet. Assulin and Saadiaev also hid 11 counterfeit 100 shekel bills and raw materials for counterfeiting currency. Two presses, weighing 40 and 75 tons, suitable for producing currency with the seized materials, were found at Saadiaev's home.

In a separate charge, Assulin and Saadiaev are accused of extorting a woman, demanding she pay a debt they claimed her son owed them. Assulin sent her voice messages with a disguised voice, revealing details about her family members and threatening her. When she asked him to stop, he responded, "Maybe if threats don't work, actions will." Following the threats, the woman transferred 20,000 shekels to an individual acting on behalf of the two defendants.

The indictment includes charges of weapons offenses and aggravated burglary for all three. Assulin and Saadiaev face additional charges for possessing weapons, drugs for personal use, counterfeit bills, counterfeiting equipment, and extortion. The prosecution has requested that the three be held in custody until the legal proceedings are concluded.
