The United Arab Emirates (UAE) sentenced 3 perpetrators to death for the murder of Israeli-Moldovan citizen Rabbi Tzvi Kogan, who was found dead in the city of Al Ain last year.
THE MURDERERS OF THE RABBI HAVE BEEN SENTENCED TO DEATH
In the rabbi murder case that occurred in the United Arab Emirates last year, the penalties have been determined. The 3 perpetrators of the murder of Israeli-Moldovan citizen Rabbi Tzvi Kogan, who was found dead in Al Ain on November 24, 2024, were sentenced to death. A fourth defendant in the case was sentenced to life imprisonment.
HE WAS CAPTURED IN TURKEY BY MIT OPERATION
The killers of Rabbi Kogan, who had been running a market in Dubai since 2020 and was found dead on November 24, 2024, were determined to have fled the country, and the UAE government requested assistance from Turkey. The National Intelligence Organization (MIT) launched an operation to capture the perpetrators who killed the rabbi, and law enforcement agencies intervened as the individuals arrived in Istanbul. Police teams, who stopped the taxi the individuals were in for a traffic check, captured 3 individuals who had a search record in the UAE as a result of the identity check. The 28-year-old Alimbay Tahiroviç, 28-year-old Mahmudcan Abdurrahim, and 33-year-old Azizbek Kamiloviç, who killed the rabbi, were extradited to the UAE where the crime was committed.
ACCUSATION AGAINST IRAN
Former Israeli politician Ayoob Kara claimed that Iran had a role in the death of Tzvi Kogan, who lived in the UAE for several years, while Iran denied the allegations. In a statement from Iran's embassy in Abu Dhabi, it was said, "We categorically reject the claim of interference in the murder of an Israeli rabbi in the UAE."
