I did some background research on this. Very interesting.
The one Israeli citizen that got named by police has quite a history.
He's an ex-soldier of the Israeli army, and started as a street vendor on a market in Japan. I assume that he, like so many, Israelis who have completed their army service, travelled the world as a backpacker.
On the Japanese market, he bullied other backpackers who tried to establish a small business, and took control over them.
Then he went on to sell drugs, and got involved with the Yakuza (Japanese Mafia). He was arrested in 2003 in Europe, at this time, he already was the head of an international drug trafficking ring.
At some point, he moved to Colombia, fathered three children, and bought houses in different South American states, only to convert them to hostels where he sold drugs, prostitutes - and children - to fellow Israelis.
He surrounded himself with other ex-Israeli soldiers, and had a heavily armed entourage (which you probably need in Colombia, considering the state of affairs in this country).
In 2017, he had to leave Colombia due to his child trafficking activities. Please note: He didn't go to jail there, not even a trial was started. Which begs the question whether he might have been connected to Mossad.
Of course he didn't stop his involvement in the trafficking business, so that he got busted again now. So I wonder who is the real head of this trafficking gang - the arrested woman, or Assi Ben-Mosh, the Israeli with a long history of drug and child trafficking?
The woman's role obviously was to select the victims for wealthy customers who ordered them for parties on their yachts and other premises.
On a photo that some newsoutlets showed, a buddy of Assi Ben-Mosh makes the 'devil's' hand sign.
Oh, and of course, he set up a foundation for children in need..... /s
The woman called 'Madame' has a history of drug smuggling to the US; maybe she was a victim when she was younger, and forced to smuggle drugs (like so many other girls/women), and later rose in the hierachy of the gang.
Of course, local policemen were involved....
What I didn't know was that drug smuggling seems to be rampant among young Israeli backpackers.
