“Michael Tansky is one of the most dangerous and violent criminals in Israel, who founded a Russian mafia … and was involved in serious extortion and drug trafficking crimes worth millions of shekels,” a senior police officer told Channel 12, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

“Tansky did not know that the man closest to him was our undercover agent who worked with us and passed along information 24 hours a day about what was going on in his organization…



The officer said that Tansky had been planning to “take over” the southern cities of Ashdod and Ashkelon where a rival gang led by the recently released criminal Benny Shlomo had been dominant.

Tansky and his associates terrorized the city in recent years with dozens of assassination attempts, the hurling of grenades, and firing of weapons at homes along with extorting businesses and residents of the southern coastal area for millions of shekels, Channel 12 said.

Ido Porat, who is representing Tansky along with four other arrested suspects, said in a statement that his clients are shocked by the arrests and “have no idea what it is about.”
