Amir Mulner at court.
Police on Sunday arrested
11 people allegedly affiliated with the Amir Mulner crime organization.
Those
arrested are suspected of weapons possession, unlawfully carrying a weapon and
conspiracy to commit a crime.
Police say that if Mulner
had not been abroad, he, too, would have been arrested on the same suspicions.
Ever since a bomb last
month blew up a car belonging to a Tel Aviv attorney who is the lead prosecutor
in several cases against members of a crime ring that police say is run by
Mulner, the police's Lahav 433 department has been tightening the noose around
Mulner’s people, as part of an effort to get its hands on the crime bosses and
their underlings.
During Sunday’s raid in Ramat Gan, a pistol was found that
police said belonged to all the suspects, adding that there is evidence that
they knew about it, talked about it and some even carried it from time to time.
Mulner had previously
been convicted of possessing a pistol without a license and served two years
and eight months. That conviction also involved police associating the illegal
weapon with several different suspects.
