The Tel Aviv District Court ordered Yossi Mosli, head of the Mosli crime organization, placed under house arrest until Yom Kippur, The Jerusalem Post reports. The measure is an intelligence-based order under a 2024 law, marking its first reported use against a Jewish crime organization.
The Tel Aviv District Court on Thursday (August 13) ordered Yossi Mosli, head of the Mosli crime organization, placed under house arrest until Yom Kippur. The intelligence-based order was issued under a 2024 law, marking the first reported use of the legislation against a Jewish crime organization, The Jerusalem Post reports.
This new order follows a series of escalating legal measures. On August 11, The Zioneer reported that police had obtained an administrative restraining order against Mosli, described as a precedent in the Israeli criminal underworld. Later that same day, police acknowledged they had erred in releasing him, citing a danger to life amid the violent feud with the Jarushi crime family. Prior to that, on July 19, Mosli was released to house arrest after police did not request a court extension of his detention.
The measures stem from a wave of arson, shootings, and grenade attacks targeting restaurant branches, linked to the Mosli-Jarushi conflict, as The Zioneer reported on August 11. The specific intelligence that formed the basis of Thursday's court order has not been publicly disclosed.
