A man allegedly plotting to shoot dead his own lawyer was arrested Tuesday after
purchasing a handgun from an undercover police agent.
Detectives at the
Zevulon police station north of Haifa received word that the man, a resident of
Eilat, 47, who has a criminal record, had made a decision to shoot his attorney
in the North, after accusing the lawyer of embezzling him during a
deal.
Police said the man had shown an interest in purchasing a firearm,
adding that the undercover agent was sent to sell him the gun.
"As soon
as he bought the gun, undercover police arrested him," police spokesman Micky
Rosenfeld said.
A Haifa Magistrate's Court extended his remand by four
days.
