A 32-year-old resident of Bat Yam was arrested in Israel on Friday on suspicion of involvement in the murder of an Israeli citizen in Bulgaria approximately one month ago. Police stated that the arrest was made pursuant to an international arrest warrant issued for the suspect. The murder occurred in Bulgaria on October 14, when the victim, also an Israeli citizen, was in the capital city of Sofia. The Israeli Police have launched a joint investigation with the Bulgarian Police, during which a temporary arrest warrant was issued for the suspect's extradition to Bulgarian law enforcement authorities. Following his arrest, the suspect is expected to appear in court as part of the extradition process. Police reported that upon suspecting his involvement in the murder, a joint effort began between the "Yalpon" investigation unit, the operational coordination department of the intelligence division, the international department of the State Attorney's Office, and the Bulgarian Police. This intensive investigative and operational activity aimed to gather evidence and apprehend the suspect, leading to the issuance of the temporary arrest warrant for his extradition.
