A European Union (EU) prosecutor says an Israeli man  suspected of running an organ trafficking network has been arrested in  Israel.
“We have received information that Moshe Harel has been arrested in  Israel on organ trafficking and other related offences,” EU special  prosecutor Jonathan Ratel said.
Harel is wanted in Kosovo, where he and his colleagues reportedly  carried out some 30 illegal kidney transplants and removals. Kosovo  authorities have issued an international arrest warrant for him.
Harel’s trafficking ring used to prey on donors from poor Eastern  European and Asian countries, who were promised about 15,000 euros (USD  19,000) to become organ donors.
Israel has not yet confirmed Harel’s arrest.
Reports earlier this week by Ha’aretz, indicate that at least 10  Israeli citizens were arrested for being members of an organ trafficking  gang.
The Italian New Generation Foundation for Human Rights and the  Everyone Group has presented evidence indicating that Sinai locals  harvest the organs of the people they transfer to Israel. In this  connection, a number of mass graves have been found containing the  corpses of Africans missing some of their organs.
