Lots of murder associated with diamonds and theft. The above item can be pulled up under subject matter, but I reproduced this other item to do with diamond smuggling by mafia.....why is UN involved here? Where they now meet attempting to charge Israel with being racists - is place, focal point, of jewish mafia involved in diamond, guns, drug running? So two stories if interested - following i reproduce or your convenience and above you may pull up - both worth a read if you are interested in how dirty money is buying your congressmen, senators and Clinton, who actually sold himself out pretty cheap. So where does Israel get all those diamonds? In the Congo but in 2001 they seem to be having some problems here......but then, Diamonds and Jihud, are forever......note nobody coming to aid of white farmers yet or the Palestinians bein slaughtered - yet UN is interested in Diamonds for "security" reasoning? These diamonds have been stolen from primarily Zulu Tribes....and of course that big fat pig Liz Taylor has a diamond alleged to hae been bought from Krupp? So where did he steal same? Saba http://jta.virtualjerusalem.com/index.exe?0003298 "Israeli Mafia" in South Africa Makes News with Recent Killings Jewish Telegraphic Agency, 03/29/2000 JOHANNESBURG, March 29 (JTA) - The "Israeli mafia" has made headlines in South Africa following the recent discovery of the body of an alleged member of the group. Shai Avishar, 36, disappeared from the trendy Johannesburg suburb of Norwood last October. His body was discovered in a shallow grave some 40 miles away following a tip-off to police. A South African police spokesman said the group posed no threat to the local Jewish community or other South African Jews. The spokesman added that a member of the police investigating the group had received death threats from syndicate members. "There are about 20 syndicate members all in all; whereas there are about 120,000 members in the police service," the spokesman said. "We will therefore not be intimidated by them." Avishar allegedly had contacts with a reputed mob leader in Israel, Yossi Harari, who is reported to have been convicted in Israel of four criminal charges. Avishar and his former wife, Johannesburg socialite Hazel Crane, were friends of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, who has remained a prominent and influential politician since her divorce from former President Nelson Mandela a few years ago. Crane is reported to have fled the country because she believed her life was in danger from members of the syndicate. Before fleeing, she reported receiving death threats from the group. Police suspect that Avishar was murdered by another member of the syndicate after an apparent double-cross in a diamond deal. Police have linked an additional two murders to the syndicate, and they suspect a third. In the two incidents linked to the group, the victims' heads had been covered with a shawl. Motti Raz, who came to South Africa in 1996, apparently launched the "Israeli mafia." He was later killed and his body found, also in a shallow grave, near Johannesburg. The syndicate has been implicated in various crimes, including illegal diamond dealing, drug trafficking, protection payments and illegal firearms. The syndicate is said to operate primarily in the three largest cities in South Africa - Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban - where Jews have been the prime targets of the group. The police say that so far four syndicate members have been killed, all by their own people. "They are powerful, but they are killing their own people because they are too greedy," the police spokesman said. One suspected member of the syndicate, Camilllo Zavatani, has appeared in court on charges of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. Police have named two other suspected members, Lior Saadt and Amir Moilla, as murder suspects and are on the run. (c Jewish Telegraphic Agency Inc.
