The affair began following reports reached by the Jerusalem District Fraud and Economic Crime Unit. In reports to the police, there was a suspicion of a community operating under the guise of a women's seminar, who live with their children urgently and crowded in residential complexes. At the head of the seminar is Adam, who is suspected of committing various crimes against them and their children, for many years.

As the investigation progresses, accompanied by the State Attorney's Office, police investigators have for the past two months collected testimonies and evidence pointing to the main suspect, a Jerusalem resident in the 1960s, as the head of the community. About 50 women, who live in the complex and are subjected to it, until they are isolated from the company and their families, in addition, children up to the age of 5 living in the complex are kept in complete isolation every day.

It should also be noted that, towards the same women, the suspect is acting according to suspicion in various ways of punishment, and that they work in various professions approved by him, with part of their wages being transferred directly to him, and the sums of money actually go to his own pocket.

A short time ago, as stated, with the investigation into the open phase, police forces raided Border Fighters in cooperation with the Israeli Center for Victims of Cults, Welfare Officers, the GAS, the Director of Gas, the Jerusalem Department of Engineering and the Ministry of Education, to arrest the complex in the Bukharan neighborhood.

At this stage, the police efforts are focusing on the additional bodies providing an initial response to the treatment of minors as well as the examination of the residential complex. All the suspects arrested were brought for questioning on suspicion of felony and possession under conditions of slavery, at the end of which one of them will be brought before the Magistrate's Court to hear their case
