An Israeli criminal was extradited to Poland on suspicion of running a massive drug trafficking and money laundering operation, Polish police said in a statement last week.
Shalom Lior Azoulay, 40, was arrested on October 29 last year in Amsterdam, The Netherlands where he was transferring en route from Columbia and was later extradited to Poland under special police escort.
Azoulay is suspected of leading an international crime syndicate that is believed to have trafficked drugs worth around 3.4 billion zloty ($920 million). Polish authorities have also seized some 1.4 billion zloty ($380 million) in funds believed to have been part of a large-scale money laundering operation run by the organized crime group.
