A 32-year-old resident of Bat Yam was arrested on Friday on suspicion of involvement in the murder of an Israeli citizen in Bulgaria. The arrest was carried out based on an international arrest warrant for the suspect's extradition. The murder occurred on October 14th. The victim was an Israeli man in his 80s, a professor who lived most of his life in Bulgaria. The suspect and victim were reportedly involved in a financial dispute. The killing took place on the Sofia metro, where the suspect allegedly attacked the professor violently. Bulgarian authorities gathered investigation materials and transferred them to Israeli authorities, who then conducted the arrest. Following suspicions of the suspect's involvement, an Israeli police investigation began in cooperation with the Bulgarian police.
