On video: the nephew of the head of the crime organization Odeh Cotier was killed near Nablus/according to Article 27 A
A Medina witness was recruited yesterday (Monday) by the central unit of the Tel Aviv district after he was arrested by it about a month ago on suspicion of involvement in the attempted assassination of the head of the crime organization Eli Mosley.
The criminal who signed a state witness agreement last night is expected to shed light and incriminate other criminals in a number of serious cases related to conflicts in the underworld.
The police hope that the matter will result in an extensive indictment that may be a significant development in the fight against organized crime.
"This is a crazy achievement," a police official explained to Walla.
"An event like this has many ripples that will affect even beyond the borders of Tel Aviv."
It is suspected that the state witness and the eight other suspects who were arrested with him are members of a gang that organized the assassination of Eli Mosley by placing an explosive device under his car while he was staying at a hotel in Tel Aviv.
Tel Aviv police investigators arrested the members of the squad a second before committing the serious act, due to the fact that they conducted an undercover investigation following them. Some of the suspects were arrested in the city while riding motorcycles with fake license plates.

In recent weeks, many arrests have been made throughout the Tel Aviv district that on the face of it appeared to be unrelated to each other, but now it can be concluded that the police are developing a significant and extensive investigation.
The detention of the suspects was extended from time to time and last night a state witness agreement was signed with one of them whose identity and details of the agreement were subject to a gag order in order to protect his own safety and that of his family members, as well as the progress of the investigation.
"Probably they planted the evidence on him, showed him that he would be indicted in the case and that he would be accused of attempted murder," said a source familiar with the underworld.
"It is also possible that he fears revenge from a Muslim organization and needs the security as a state witness."
The Mosley family, which includes the father Nissim and his sons Yossi, Eli and Shay, is known for running a large crime organization in the center of the country.
The family has been in conflict for a long time with Eran Haya who runs a parallel organization, which led to many assassinations and other attempts.
For a long time now, Haya has been living outside Israel and is suspected to be frequently changing his location between different continents.

About a month ago, five suspects identified with the Haya organization were arrested outside a hotel where a senior member of the crime organization, Eli Mosley, was staying.
According to the initial suspicion, the four planned to eliminate either Mosley or one of his associates, and were arrested just before the serious operation.
Two weeks later, four more people were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the attempted murder.
Three weeks ago there was a series of incidents of throwing grenades at associates of a capital market activist who was previously investigated by the police and is considered to be an associate of the head of the crime organization Eran Haya.
Following those events Eli Mosley was arrested as a suspect by Lahav 433 investigators but was later released.
