Did SA set alleged Israeli Mobster free on bail
This week Israel’s Channel 10 News reported that suspected Israeli mob boss Shai Musli, who was scheduled to appear in court on January 18 and didn’t, was released on $10,000 bail. The TV channel merely quoted “sources” and SAPS spokesmen have not responded to Jewish Report Online’s enquiries – but it appears that there was, indeed, no hearing on the scheduled date. Channel 10 said that a gang member had agreed to turn state witness in Israel on the alleged charges of “assassinations, illegal possession of weapons, racketeering, arson and robbery”.

‘Hi Anthony. Thanks for your interest and for your enquiry.
\nWe were certainly remiss in not referencing the source in the original article – something we would normally have done on the website. In this case, we originally prepared this article for our print edition.
\nThe ORIGINAL PUBLICATION of the peer-reviewed work was in Nature Communications, which first published it on 8 October 2013 – see addition above.
\nYou might be interested if you do have an interest in following up on this that we have just done a Google-search of “Martin Richards Ashkenazi Jews” which turned up 20,500 separate articles which have been written on the report since then. In our story we also quoted from the eminent Albert Einstein College of Medicine professor Dr Harry Ostrer who holds a number of chairs and is the author of \”Legacy: A Genetic History of the Jewish People.\”
