The picture published in the "red announcement" of Interpol for which Dudi Ashkenazi was arrested in Greece is not his picture at all - it turned out today (Sunday) despite the poor quality of the photo.

Because of this, his defense attorney, Nir Jaslovic, who went to the Greek island of Rhodes today, will appeal tomorrow in a local court for his immediate release.



My uncle Ashkenazi was arrested in Greece four days ago when he came with his wife Racheli on vacation on the island of Kos.

Ashkenazi, a 52-year-old resident of Bat Hefer in the Hefer Valley, is wanted under an international arrest warrant issued by Interpol against him for drug offenses he allegedly committed in Peru in 2012. However, he claims he was not in Peru at the time and claims it was a terrible mistake. At the same time committing offenses around the world.

His family is now working to prove his innocence.



"I am on my way to Greece, with unequivocal documents proving that an Ashkenazi who is currently detained is detained for no wrong in his palm," his lawyer Jaslovitch said when he left for Ben Gurion Airport today. He added, "I call on Foreign Minister Yair Lapid to do everything in his power to release Dudi Ashkenazi immediately from detention and the documents in my possession will be revealed shortly."

As reported in Walla !, the event that is at the center of the international affair that predicts an episode of a suspense series, took place in the city of Lima, the capital of Peru, on June 16, 2012. The man wanted by the Peruvians and known as "El Doc" (Spanish, "Doctor") holds dual Azerbaijani citizenship - An Israeli, they claim, is a member of an international criminal organization that smuggled drugs from Peru to Russia, by air.

Somehow, Peru is handling this affair with the car appraiser Dudi Ashkenazi, who at that time was a driver and a respected manager in the "Dan" cooperative.

Significant reinforcement of the claim that this is another Israeli who also answers to a similar name Dudu Ashkenazi.



Dudu Ashkenazi, a 38-year-old employee insurance agent from Kfar Saba, married and the father of two children who went on a roots trip to Morocco in 2015, was detained at a connection in Brussels and passport control informed him that there was a request from Sweden for his extradition.

He was returned to Israel and it turned out that a citizen from Azerbaijan obtained his passport that was stolen in Israel and then tried to assassinate someone in Sweden.

"My name has been added to the Interpol list of people who are barred from entering 24 countries that have signed a joint treaty on the matter," he said.

He further said that to this day he is afraid to leave the country lest he be detained and only because of his name.



Lawyer Mordechai Tzivin, an international expert on Interpol and inter-state arrests, said: "Given the special circumstances of the case, the defense will not have to bother much to revoke the order. I have no doubt that Ashkenazi will not be extradited to Peru. Guilty or not, and not in the weight of the evidence, all this except in a case where there is no, categorically, any evidence to support the extradition request. The court in Greece will not grant the extradition request. "

In addition, according to the "Interpol" entry on Wikipedia, starting in 2002, Interpol began collecting information on stolen and lost IDs from member countries of the organization, and the countries of the organization try to incorporate these tests in their passport checks, to prevent impersonation and forgery of identities.

As of 2006, the database already included over 10 million certificates stolen or lost.



Israel does not cooperate with this database, but the Israel Police was informed by Walla!

"Contrary to allegations, the Israel Police cooperates with Interpol regarding stolen or lost documents and transmits the data through the relevant authorities."
