Israeli police have alerted Panamanian authorities that five Israeli criminal figures were traveling to Panama to participate in a power struggle between rival criminal groups in Panama City.
Thanks to this warning, Panamanian officials intercepted the suspects at passport control and deported them.
According to reports from July 21 by mako.co.il, the five individuals arrived on flights from Madrid and Paris. They were detained at the airport and immediately deported after their passports were checked.
Three of the deported suspects are close associates of crime boss Ziv Alush. Israeli law enforcement believes their visit was linked to an ongoing conflict over influence among Israeli criminals in Panama.
