Police detain 10 suspects for forging wills of single Israelis, one suspect Gaza resident

Police reported that ten suspects were detained on the morning of May 5 for their involvement in a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme. The suspects, members of a criminal network, were allegedly engaged in forging the wills of deceased individuals who resided in the Gush Dan area (Tel Aviv and surrounding areas).

Two of the detainees are identified as lawyers. It is worth noting that one of the detainees is a resident of Gaza who had been residing illegally in Israel.

According to the police report, the criminal network targeted isolated elderly individuals, gathering information about them and their assets. Subsequently, they forged wills to position themselves as the "legal heirs" of these individuals upon their demise.

The fraudulent group purportedly amassed tens of millions of shekels through these illicit activities.
