A 58-year-old Israeli man was extradited from Thailand back to Israel where he will be questioned about his alleged involvement in an assault on a minor in Kfar Yedidia in northern Israel.
Israeli Police worked with Thai police to bring the man to Israel. Within a few days of the assault, the man fled to Romania and continued to travel until he reached Bangkok where he was arrested, Israel Police reported. While the man was allegedly attempting to flee, Israel Police launched an investigation.
The suspect was officially arrested upon his arrival at Ben-Gurion Airport on Sunday.
