Jerusalem, Wednesday, September 22, 2004 Police say they find largest sex-trade ring in years By Haaretz Service ISRAELI and Russian police announced Tuesday that they had uncovered the largest network of white slave traders operating between the two nations in the past few years. The alleged leaders of the network were arrested -- 10 people in all -- in a joint police operation over the weekend. The investigation began a few months ago, when several suspects were arrested in Jerusalem on suspicion of smuggling women from the former Soviet Union into the country and employing them in escort services in the city. As the investigation proceeded, Jerusalem police inspectors managed to locate the alleged top white slave-trade criminal Shota Shmalashvili, also nicknamed "Tarzan," in Moscow. Shmalashvili, who was targeted by several police intelligence agencies worldwide, was apprehended on Friday. Police also arrested two of his alleged partners who operate in Israel. The two were arrested on suspicion of smuggling dozens of women across the Egyptian border over the past few years and selling them to escort services and brothels throughout the country, at a price of some $7,000 per woman.   Real History and those nice new immigrants next door | Slave trade and Lev Trachtenberg Report slams Israel on sex slavery Portrait of a modern slave trader, Ludwig Fainberg   Former Israeli minister Gonen Segev arrested for drug smuggling | Segev indicted for smuggling 30,000 'Ecstasy' tablets | Former Israeli minister Gonen Segev investigated also for cheque (check) and credit card frauds | Ex-minister suspected of second drug-smuggling attempt | Los Angeles police uncover Israeli drug ring, headed by an Israeli national   Israel's links to the global ecstasy trade ...     International Ecstasy smuggling racket: three Israelis arrested   Israelis at center of the international Ecstasy drug trade   Ecstasy: A gift from "our best friend and ally"...   Ultra-Orthodox couriers ran drugs for major international ring, reports Reuters   international money-laundering ring run by New York Hasidim washed millions of dollars in cocaine proceeds for the Colombian cartels   Real History, Drug rings, and Israel: Reports from DEA field offices state young Israelis claiming to be art students and had been attempting to penetrate DEA offices   Police raid Michel Friedmanns house for cocaine.
