Caesarea gas-station shooting kills Caucasian mafia boss

Yanis Yushayev, head of the Caucasian mafia, was fatally shot outside a Caesarea gas station; video shows a shooter approaching from behind and firing at close range, with police and a helicopter scouring the area as he dies in hospital. Investigators note Yushayev’s long-standing ties to local crime figures and a possible joint criminal group operating in Hadera, Or Akiva, Caesarea, and the Sharon region; several associates have faced arrests in recent years but were not charged at the time.
