A young man accused of serious crimes is said to have fled to the occupied territories, according to reports in Israel, which refer to a community of Israeli criminals living in the occupied areas of Cyprus.
This is Matan Arviv from the city of Hadera, who is accused of serious criminal activities - from trafficking as well as drug and arms trafficking to fraud, threats and money laundering.
As they write, last week an agent of the Israeli Police, who had managed to infiltrate the ring of criminals and for a year extracted valuable information, managed to trap 60 people of the ring by buying drugs and weapons.
In coordinated operations, the Police arrested all those involved - among them Matan Arviv's three brothers, Eli, Ossar and Omri. When they searched for him, it was found that he had disappeared.
According to the reports, after an investigation, it became clear that he had left the country and that he is in occupied Cyprus, which also write that in recent years a community of Israeli criminals has been created who live in the occupied territories and direct their illegal activities from there.
