After he was arrested over the weekend in a police raid in the prestigious suburb of Bryanston in the north of Johannesburg in South Africa and his detention was extended, today (Monday) the Israeli criminal, Yaniv Ben Simon, will appear in court for a hearing regarding his extradition to Israel.

In 2007, Ben Simon left the country legally.

With the outbreak of Parshat 512 in 2015, he was wanted for investigation and since then his traces disappeared until his arrest last Thursday.

Ben Simon was suspected of being involved in international drug deals and suspected of having taken part in the steps leading up to the attempted assassination of Zeev Rosenstein in 2003. As a result, a red warrant by the international police (Interpol) was issued against him.

The Israel Police said upon his arrest in Africa that "special forces raided the home of a high-ranking criminal who lives in South Africa and arrested him along with other suspects. The suspect has been on the run since 2015 due to involvement in the 512 case, and was arrested after many efforts, intelligence, operations and cooperation between the authorities in Israel and abroad "To".

Together with him, seven other suspects were arrested in the raid in Bryanston, with 12 weapons - five rifles and seven pistols - as well as 40,000 US dollars.
