Israeli crime boss shot dead at point-blank range
Police say the killing appears criminally motivated as officers launched a manhunt and deployed a helicopter, roadblocks and dozens of officers.
- On Sunday, reputed crime boss Yanis Yushayev was shot dead at a gas station near Caesarea in northern Israel. Israel Police immediately launched a manhunt for the unidentified suspect who fled the scene.
- Yushayev led the Caucasian mafia, maintaining a network with prominent figures including Osher Shmilov and Patrick Krasnopolsky, described as his "right-hand man." Police assessments suggest they operated a joint criminal group across Hadera, Or Akiva, and Caesarea.
