Wikileaks: Amsterdamse joden en de Israëlische maffia

"The profit motive serves as a great unifier among Israel's diverse demographic groups. According to xxxxx, some Amsterdam-based Hasidic groups allegedly are implicated in international drug smuggling through links to Israeli OC*" Zie document 09TELAVIV1098, ¶21

Het document geeft een inkijkje in de Israëlische *OC - Organized Crime, maffia - die haar activiteiten niet beperkt tot Israël. Meer citaten uit het document:

"According to xxxxx, the old school of Israel OC is giving way to a new, more violent, breed of crime. xxxxx told conoffs that the new style of crime features knowledge of hi-tech explosives acquired from service in the Israeli Defense Forces, and a willingness to use indiscriminate violence, at least against rival gang leaders. New OC business also includes technology-related crimes, such as stock market and credit card fraud, and operates on a global scale."

"Israeli OC now plays a significant role in the global drug trade, providing both a local consumer market and an important transit point to Europe and the United States."

"The prostitution business has also grown beyond the neighborhood brothel. In March 2009, the INP arrested twelve suspects in what is believed to be the largest Israeli-led human trafficking network unearthed to date. Ring leader Rami Saban and his associates were charged with smuggling thousands of women from the former Soviet Union and forcing them to work as prostitutes in Israel, Cyprus, Belgium, and Great Britain. Some women were flown to Egypt and smuggled across the Sinai border by Bedouins."

"Little is known about the full extent of Russian criminal activity in
Israel, but sources in the police estimate that Russian OC has laundered as much as USD 10 billion through Israeli holdings."

"As part of an ongoing effort to track Israeli OC through media reports and police sources, Post so far has identified 16 families and 78 related individuals who are at the center of Israeli organized criminal activity."
