The Abergil Organization is an Israeli organized crime syndicate that has been active since the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The organization was founded by brothers Yaakov and Avi Abergil in the city of Ramat Gan, Israel, in the 1990s. The Abergil Organization is involved in a wide range of criminal activities, including drug trafficking, money laundering, and extortion.
One of the hallmarks of the Abergil Organization is its use of violence to maintain its position within the criminal underworld. The organization is known for its ruthless tactics, and its members are responsible for numerous murders and other violent crimes.
Despite its reputation for violence, the Abergil Organization is also known for its sophisticated approach to criminal activity. The organization was highly organized and had a complex structure that allowed it to operate in multiple countries around the world.
In the early 2000s, the Abergil Organization was targeted by law enforcement agencies in Israel and the United States. In 2005, Yaakov Abergil was arrested in Israel and extradited to the United States, where he was convicted of drug trafficking and sentenced to 32 years in prison.
Avi Abergil was also arrested in Israel in 2008 and extradited to the United States, where he was charged with drug trafficking and money laundering. He ultimately pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Despite the arrests of its leaders, the Abergil Organization is believed to still have some level of activity in Israel and other parts of the world. However, it is unclear to what extent the organization is currently involved in criminal activity.
