Eran Haya, head of a crime organization and son of 'the Israeli Godfather', will be extradited to Israel after nine years abroad. Yesterday (Wednesday), the extradition order was signed in the United States, and he is expected to return to Israel in the coming weeks under heavy security. Haya is suspected of attempting to murder criminal Eli Mosley, which was foiled in January 2024 minutes before it was carried out. The extradition request, 245 pages long, includes evidence such as a recorded video call, testimonies, wiretaps, and surveillance footage. Haya was arrested in Malaysia in April 2024 and handed over to the FBI. His legal battle against extradition was rejected by the federal court in New York, which ruled that the evidence was sufficient to approve extradition. Upon landing in Israel, he will be transferred for questioning by the central unit of the Tel Aviv district.
