TV Nova: Israeli "drug baron" arrested in Prague

Czech anti-drug police have arrested an Israeli citizen in Prague whom they say is suspected on organising supplies of ecstasy to North America, Spain and Australia, the Nova television reported on Saturday. According to TV Nova, police arrested the 27-year-old man in a flat in Prague 2 and also seized a kilo of cocaine, hashish and an undetermined amount of cash. The station says an arrest warrant has been issued for the man by the US Drug Enforcement Agency and describes him as one of the most dangerous drug bosses in the world. The man has been taken into custody and may be extradited to the United States, where he faces up to 90 years in prison.
