\r\n\tArrested son of Zionist regime’s Kiryat Gat's deputy mayor allegedly a member of the Domrani crime family.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tThe son of a senior official in the southern Israeli town of Kiryat Gat was arrested recently for operating a marijuana greenhouse for crime boss Shalom Domrani.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tGabriel Efraimov was arrested late last week in a police raid on two laboratories for growing marijuana hydroponically.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tEfraimov, whose father is Deputy Mayor Ya’akov Efraimov, is suspected of having run the larger one.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tHe is allegedly a member of the Domrani crime family, which is involved in drug trafficking, loan sharking and extorting protection money from area businesses.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tIn a raid by Lachish District police on a large industrial building located on Nissan Street in Kiryat Gat’s industrial zone, more than 600 marijuana plants and about 15 kilograms of marijuana ready for sale were seized.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tAlso seized were fertilizers, gardening tools, heat lamps to accelerate plant growth and irrigation and professional lighting systems with an estimated value of hundreds of thousands of shekels.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tTwo additional suspects were arrested together with Efraimov. On Tuesday their detention was extended by seven days. All the men are in their twenties.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tArea police have uncovered a number of hydroponic marijuana labs recently, many of them directly connected to Domrani’s crime organization.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\t“The distribution of drugs in commercial quantities, like those that were seized, is a cause of crime and a source of funding and power for criminal elements,” Chief Inspector Ran Malka of the Lachish District investigations department said, adding, “We will continue our battle against crime, using all the resources at our disposal.<\/p>","content_source":null,"content_url":null,"content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2014-03-14 13:13:39","content_date_finish":"2014-03-14 13:13:39","content_date_register":"2014-03-14 13:13:39","content_date_last_edit":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"1","content_show_related_img":"1","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"0","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"1","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","old_id":"121924","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"2095106468","attach_date_register":"2014-03-14 13:13:45","attach_id":"117890","attach_file_ext":"png","attach_file_header":"image\/png","attach_img_type":"3","attach_img_width":"264","attach_img_height":"164","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"189","visit_date_last":"2025-05-09 08:39:31","attach_title":"Israeli city official\u2019s son busted over crime boss\u2019 pot greenhouse","node_title":"news","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":122, \"left\":2, \"right\":53}]"}]]
