Police smash
crime ring suspected of trafficking in
women By Jonathan Lis Haaretz Correspondent THE Israel Police International
Crimes Unit announced Sunday [Sunday, October
31, 2004] that it had uncovered a crime ring
suspected of trafficking in women. Two Ukrainian women, who were smuggled into
Israel across the Egyptian border, told police
investigators that they were purchased by three
suspects for $5,000 each and then imprisoned and
forced to work as prostitutes. The women also
claimed they were filmed against their will and
that the video clips were posted on the
Internet. The suspects - Igor Adler, 31, and
Michel Yaakobi, 24, of the Tel Aviv area and
a Sergei Bloch, 32, a Moldovan citizen -
were arrested a week ago and deny the allegations
against them. The four will appear Monday in Tel
Aviv District Court for a second remand hearing.
Police want the men held in custody till the end of
the proceedings against them. -
