Berland says he’ll hand himself in Monday
Is the end of three years of running in sight for the elusive Rabbi Eliezer Berland? He has ditched three attempts by The Hawks to arrest him in the past two years, having been present initially at all three places. He dramatically escaped from SA to Holland after the second attempt to apprehend him and later disappeared from the Netherlands when a court ordered his extradition to Israel to answer to several “sex-pest” allegations. Now (back in SA) he says he’ll surrender on Monday.

Berland was supposed to surrender to police two weeks ago according to police – and be handed over to Interpol to be returned to Israel. Now, his attorney and the NPP have arranged, he says he will hand himself over next week Monday.
When Berland escaped Holland, he snuck back into South Africa with a band of about 200 followers from his Shuvu Banim Breslov sect which operates out of a yeshiva in Jerusalem. The number of followers grew and the Hawks and Interpol missed arresting him for a third time two months ago at a Midrand hotel.

‘I personally heard that this is a lie and that Rabbi Eliezer Berland is NOT expecting to leave South Africa anytime soon.
\n[Sorry, \”Y\”, you cannot make such accusations without proof. The information published by JR was sourced from Interpol and the Hawks’ senior spokesman. If you disagree and are prepared to offer proof and give your name, you are welcome -EDITOR]
