On Monday afternoon, the court ordered the release of Yossi Musli, who had been arrested the previous day on suspicion of assaulting a Wolt delivery worker who was moderately injured. During the hearing, it emerged that Musli, who was under house arrest in Savion, had not ordered the delivery and that the alleged attackers were others who fled the scene. The motive behind the incident remains unclear. Musli's lawyer, Shahar Hatsroni, stated there was no justification for his client's arrest and praised the court's decision to release him. Following the ruling, the police requested a delay in the execution of the release until noon Tuesday.
Last week, the district court approved the police's request to impose administrative detention on Musli, the head of a crime organization. The order included a 45-day house arrest in Savion and a two-month ban on entering several cities including Tel Aviv, Herzliya, Ramat Gan, Umm al-Fahm, Jaljulia, Ramla, and Lod. He was also prohibited from using the internet for messaging apps and from contacting numerous figures in the criminal world. Musli's attorneys, Doron Noy and Shahar Hatsroni, criticized the law enabling such restrictions without evidence, calling it a failure of police investigation and evidence gathering. They noted the court did not fully accept the police's demands and shortened the restrictions.
Musli was previously arrested last month along with three others on suspicion of involvement in violent incidents linked to a feud between crime families, centered around the "Japnika" restaurant chain. The administrative detention order was part of ongoing conflict with the Jarushi crime family, involving mutual grenade attacks. Musli filed a request to cancel the detention order the day after it was issued, with a hearing held today regarding his case.
