Israeli organ smuggler arrested
(MENAFN) Kosovan police in Cyprus has arrested the Israeli ringleader of a global gang of organ traffickers, Mosgw Harel, who was arrested for organizing illegal kidney transplants at the Medicus clinic in the capital Pristina in 2008.
"The suspect whose initials are MH was arrested a few days ago in Cyprus following an international arrest warrant" from Pristina, Kosovan police spokesman Baki Kelani said.
Authorities have been after Harel for almost a decade for exploiting victims, often recruited from poor areas in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, by promising 15,000 euros (USD18,000) for their organs that recipients who are mostly Israelis would pay up to 100,000 euros for them.
