Rabbi Eliezer Berland, a convicted sex offender and leader of the Shuvu Banim Breslov community, was arrested Sunday morning in a police raid on his home on suspicion of fraudulent receipt and tax offenses. His wife and senior members of the Shuvu Banim community were detained for questioning.
Following a covert investigation, police forces raided the homes of six suspected offenders.
The investigation focused on two main issues. The first was criminal - gathering evidence and testimony against the 18-20-year Jerusalem suspects who allegedly exploited hundreds of civilians and their families by demanding tens of thousands of shekels in exchanges for blessings of healing.
The second track was economic - investigators managed to uncover a variety of alleged money laundering offenses, including tax evasion with millions of shekels. The money was purportedly laundered using dozens of bank accounts.
