Nati Hadad, an Israeli man who was sentenced in 2018 to four years in prison in Thailand for operating an illegal medical clinic, as well as firearms offenses, began his journey back to Israel Sunday where he will serve out the rest of his sentence after a several year diplomatic campaign.

 

Hadad, 36, arrived at Bangkok International Airport where he was to board an El Al flight to Israel scheduled to land on Monday.

 

He was removed from a prison on Thai island of Ko Samui on Thursday and transferred to the capital Bangkok ahead of being put on the flight, Channel 12 news reported.

Before you pass too much judgement you might want to look into the case. The guy ran a free clinic for Israeli tourists and generally helped many people. His big mistake was getting involved in the nightlife scene and more specifically opening a night club that rivaled another one on the island. There was also some business with Israeli police where he refused to be an informant against organized crime bosses or something to that effect. He certainly hurt some egos but never hurt anyone physically. (at least that we know of)

Israel is a safe haven for criminals, even pedophiles, who escape justice in the West by fleeing to there, because Israel doesn't extradite Jewish criminals back to the West to face justice. Well covered in the media. So we know they treat their people really well when they break laws in the West.

We never hear any updates on most cases, only if it's a real big news story will you get updates. News in Thailand has been terrible for decades. The reporters just accept any info given and dont check facts or ask questions.

Not always so.

Israel deported Meyer Lansky back to the US after he fled there rather than face criminal charges.

"When you're a Jew the whole world is against you" was his comment on hearing the news of his pending deportation.

That was 1972, it was 1978 when Israel amended it's laws to prohibit its citizens being extradited.

 

Lansky was also acquitted, perhaps they knew that was likely to happen. Never went to prison despite being one of the worst mafia figures in US history, so the world was hardly against him.
