A central axis in the smuggling of cocaine into Israel
This is an investigation being conducted under the supervision of the Tel Aviv District Attorney's Office, and according to the Jerusalem District Attorney's Office investigators, this is an importation network and a central smuggling route for cocaine into the State of Israel. Those involved take advantage of the ability to import goods from different countries and dispose of a dangerous drug in it. We have already been exposed in the past, while cooperating, among other things, with the enforcement agencies at the crossings, to creative and different methods such as "furniture" and the like.
The Israel Police and the Customs Administration will continue to fight the scourge of dangerous drugs with an emphasis on the perpetrators of the crime - distributors and drug dealers, while maximizing investigative capabilities and measures, with the aim of increasing public security and peace while locating those involved in these crimes and maximizing their investigation and prosecution accordingly.
