The thriller about the extradition of the Israeli scammer Gal Barak from Bulgarian to Austria continues. Uwe Lenhoff, one of Barak’s partners, has been in custody since the beginning of the year and is waiting for the trial. Israeli Gery “Gabi” Shalon and Russian Vladislav “Vlad” Smirnov are also the subjects of investigations by the authorities in the United States and Europe. They and their Israeli friends and lawyers have organized the DDoS attacks in recent. They want to prevent further articles about the Israeli scam scene in general and Barak in particular.

In Serbia, around 7,000 Israelis worked in the Boiler Rooms at the peak of the Binary Options Scam. They were famous for their parties and coke consumption. Thousands of Israelis still live and work in the scammer scene in Belgrade.
The evaluation will probably take a while, but then nothing should stand in the way of Gal Barak and his wife Marina Barak (formerly Marina Andreeva) being delivered.
