Khalid Hamada, a close associate of the Jarushi crime family, was arrested earlier Saturday evening in connection with the Jaffanika corruption affair, as The Zioneer reported. On Saturday night, a Tel Aviv court extended his remand by three days, until Tuesday, on suspicion of throwing grenades and conspiracy to commit crimes, according to i24NEWS. The police investigation covers a series of grenade attacks across the country linked to the Jarushi family. Hamada's lawyer dismissed the arrest as 'showy' and claimed there is no evidence to support the allegations. The extension is seen as part of an ongoing police effort to curb the Jarushi network's violent activities.
