Police escalate against Yossi Mosli: will ask court to impose judicial restraining order

The police will ask the Tel Aviv District Court tomorrow to impose a judicial restraining order on crime organization head Yossi Mosli. The tool, which allows restrictions even without an indictment, is becoming central in the fight against crime organizations. Attorney Walid Kabub harshly criticized the law, claiming it harms rights and constitutes a dramatic change in enforcement.

The police will ask the Tel Aviv District Court tomorrow (Tuesday) to impose a judicial restraining order on Yossi Mosli, head of a crime organization. The request will be filed by the Central Unit of the Tel Aviv District. A judicial restraining order is a tool that allows the police to impose restrictions on criminal elements even without an indictment, based on intelligence information. In the past year, the tool has become central in the fight against crime organizations. The request joins a series of similar orders, including against Issam Jarushi, Khalid Hamada, Rashad Abu Ghanem, and others. Attorney Walid Kabub, who has represented senior figures in crime organizations, harshly criticized the law, calling it "dangerous" and harmful to rights, comparing it to dictatorial regimes. He claimed the police use the law as an easy solution instead of building evidence. The article mentions a previous case of Jarushi, who was removed to Eilat, violated the order, was convicted, and sentenced to eight months in prison. Later, in April 2026, it was agreed that Jarushi would leave Israel for two months instead of supervision. Now the court will decide regarding Mosli.
