According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the investigation initially
focused, with the help of the cooperating witness, on the money
laundering network that operated between Brooklyn, Deal, N.J. and
Israel. The network is alleged to have laundered tens of millions of
dollars through charities controlled by rabbis in New York and New
Jersey.
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said he has heard of the story but knows nothing of kidneys being sold by Israelis.
