The Lahav 433 national crime unit arrested four suspects Monday evening in the expanding probe into an organized child-abuse ring linked to so-called 'normative' families, according to Israeli media.
The Lahav 433 national crime unit has arrested four additional suspects in the ongoing investigation into an organized child-abuse ring, Israeli media reported Monday evening. The probe, which has been running for over a month, focuses on alleged sexual offenses involving 'normative' families and has previously led to the arrest of a grandfather and a mother, as The Zioneer reported earlier this month. The investigation expanded significantly last week, with police disclosing that at least 20 suspects are now under scrutiny, and that recordings of abuse were distributed via Telegram. The latest arrests bring the total number of detainees to at least nine. Police have not yet released the names or ages of those arrested Monday. The case has drawn wide public attention due to the alleged involvement of families with no prior criminal records.
