The court finally allowed the release of the name of the Mohel , suspected of causing negligent death of a baby during the Breit to Mila. He is Moshe Deri, 66-year-old from Bnei Brak
According to the suspicion, Moses, who was the Mohel, infected the baby with a virus while doing "mezizia be'peh" , he then tightened the incision site which significantly blocked the flow of blood.
The same blockage apparently led to the development of mucus in the baby's genitals.
After getting infected with the bacteria, the doctors fought for three weeks to save the baby's life, but in the end they had to determine his death.
Police spokesman RSD Moshe Gerstazang said in the discussion:
In a separate incident, not related to this fatal procedure, this Mohel was appointed as a "toen" one who does arbitration in Bais Din procedures, two years ago, and was fired there as well
According to the police spokesman, the initial opinion from the Institute of Forensic Medicine points to an induction to negligence.
Moshe Deri's lawyer informed that he has no criminal past and that "any person can be a mohal".

Problem with this story: It starts with virus, then switched to bacteria. Which was it?
Not that I'm looking to defend him. I personally know a kid who got herpes from his mohel and his parents were told by the local beis din that if they told anyone they'd be kicked out of the community.

From other reports it seems it was from bacteria
עליו הכתוב אומר (א פאץ א איד)
this is lashon horah
Ok, you want another baby to get infected? Because all he has to do is move over to another city and infect again. Wondering if this had happened to your own family, if you would still say that this is "Lashon hara?" Or does it only apply to others?

Which prominent Gedolim have denounced this wicked, dangerous Brit Millah procedure? What eminent Posek has prohibited this deadly, halachically preventable outrage.
None that I’m aware of. Chareidi Judaism is a twisted religion.
