Adv. Walid Kaboub, representing Khalid Hamada, responded to the suspicion against his client, asserting that the arrest is a 'showy preventive arrest' aimed at applying pressure, and that there is no evidence linking Hamada to the alleged offense. According to N12.
The defense attorney for Khalid Hamada, a close associate of the Jarushi crime family, responded Saturday evening to the suspicions against his client, characterizing the arrest as a "showy preventive arrest" and asserting there is no evidence linking him to the alleged offense. The statement, reported by N12, comes as part of a developing case that has seen multiple reports around the same time.
Reports published around 21:08 Jerusalem on Saturday detailed the arrest of Hamada by Israeli police on suspicion of involvement in an ongoing conflict between organized crime families, later specified as the Jaffanika corruption affair. At the same time, Attorney Walid Kaboub issued his statement denying any evidence. Shortly after, a Tel Aviv court extended Hamada's remand by three days through Tuesday, according to i24NEWS, on suspicion of throwing grenades and conspiracy to commit crimes.
The Jaffanika affair, as The Zioneer has reported, involves a broader investigation into organized crime and corruption. Hamada is described as a close associate of the Jarushi brothers, a prominent crime family.
The defense's claim of a lack of evidence remains unverified, and the investigation is ongoing. No further details on the specific allegations or the court's reasoning have been released.
