Three senior members of the Hariri crime organization claim in a special interview with Walla that during their arrest in central Tel Aviv on Monday this week, police treated them with severe violence and humiliation. According to them, they were laid on the floor, tied by the eyes, beaten, cursed, and held handcuffed for seven hours in a parking lot near the police station, without being transferred for questioning. The seven suspects were arrested on suspicion of planning to extort a businessman, but all were released. Four of them were released directly from the parking lot, and three others were released after being taken to the station for possession of a knife. Attorney Athena Adari, representing the suspects, attacked the police's conduct and called the arrest a "media spin." The suspects intend to file a complaint with the Police Internal Investigations Department. The department stated that a complaint will be handled if submitted.
