An Israeli professor, a senior biologist who split his time between Bulgaria and Israel, was allegedly murdered in Sofia a month ago due to financial motives. The suspect, a pharmacist and family man with no prior criminal record who lived next door to the victim in Bat Yam, Israel, was arrested following an international warrant. Authorities initially believed the professor, in his 80s, had fallen at a metro station, but a post-mortem examination revealed he had been severely beaten and died from his injuries. The victim was a respected lecturer who taught for many years at a biology faculty and owned property in Israel. Investigators suspect the neighbor desired the professor's assets. Israeli police, in cooperation with Bulgarian authorities and the State Prosecutor's Office, gathered evidence and secured an arrest warrant for the suspect's extradition. The suspect was apprehended earlier today and will face extradition proceedings in Israel, as Israeli police are not authorized to investigate him domestically.
