At a remand extension hearing for Yossi Mosli and other suspects, the court was told of 13 grenade, explosive, and arson incidents across the country, according to N12 crime reporter Yolan Cohen. Mosli said police approached him days before his arrest, asked him to calm the situation, and later threatened to act aggressively against him. Mosli's arrest was extended by five days.
At a court hearing on Tuesday morning, the court was told of 13 incidents involving grenades, explosives, and arson across the country, according to N12 crime reporter Yolan Cohen. The arrest of crime boss Yossi Mosli, a suspect in the Japanika restaurant attacks, was extended by five days. During the hearing, Mosli said police approached him days before his arrest, asked him to calm the situation, and later warned they would take aggressive action against him.
These developments build on a series of reports The Zioneer published on Tuesday (Jul 14, 06:46 Jerusalem). Earlier that morning, police confirmed that the attacks on Japanika branches were part of a criminal feud aimed at pressuring the chain's owner, Barak Abramov. Police then arrested several suspects, including Mosli, and seized NIS 78,000 in cash. The court hearing later on Tuesday provided the first detailed account of the scope of the alleged organized crime wave, including the 13 incidents and Mosli's claims.
As The Zioneer reported, a police source previously warned that if the wave of attacks is not stopped, 'heads will roll.' The investigation is ongoing, and the case continues to develop.
It remains unclear whether the 13 incidents cited in court include the Japanika attacks or are separate. Mosli's allegations that police threatened him have not been independently verified.
