Jerusalem, 8 January, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s State Attorney’s Office filed indictments on Thursday against senior members of the Abu Latif crime organization known as “6006.” They were filed against the crime group’s leader Nidal Abu Latif and 10 others.
The indictments came after the conclusion of a covert investigation conducted by the Israel Police together with the Haifa Income Tax Investigations, Haifa Customs, and the Authority for Prohibition of money laundering and Terror Financing.
They contain facts and evidence of offenses committed against “The Prince” – a businessman who fell into financial debts due to the Covid crisis to a father and son, owners of a tahini factory and residents of Nablus who turned to the Abu Latif organization to collect the debt. The Prince’s identity has not been revealed because he then served as an undercover agent and witness for the police.
After “The Prince” settled his debt with the Abu Latif organization, members of the crime organization continued to extort “The Prince” and his family for large sums of money and property, and subsequently exploited his business capabilities and forced him to carry out numerous business actions for the benefit of companies associated with the organization.
