Following coordination with police authorities, the detainee was transferred to the Rishon LeZion police station for processing. Investigators from the Barkai Unit's central branch then took custody of the prisoner and transported him to the Tel Aviv detention facility, where he will now serve his sentence behind bars. Throughout the years he spent abroad, authorities made numerous attempts to locate the fugitive, but he successfully evaded capture until his return to Israel ended the three-year pursuit. This case joins a series of successful fugitive captures in recent years. In the United States, authorities captured a murderer who had escaped from prison by scaling walls, following a manhunt that lasted several days.
