The killer of the Caucasian mafia boss was sure he had escaped – and then came the 'golden tip'

The main suspect in the murder of Yanis Yushbayev, head of the Caucasian mafia, was arrested in Hadera following an operation by the Yamam counter-terror unit. The arrest was carried out after a 'golden tip' was received by detectives from the Coastal District's YMAR. Due to the fear of a shootout in the middle of a residential neighborhood, it was decided to deploy the elite unit. The fighters broke into the warehouse where the suspect was hiding and arrested him without resistance. The suspect, who appeared confident at the moment of the killing, was led to the police vehicle hunched over and less calm. Another suspect was arrested alongside him on suspicion of aiding the murder. The investigation continues in an attempt to locate additional involved parties.
