Yossi Musli detained on suspicion of employing illegal aliens at his home in Savyon

Criminal Yossi Musli and his partner were detained for questioning on Monday on suspicion of employing illegal aliens at their home in Savyon. The detention occurred after police detectives arrived at the scene as part of enforcing his release conditions and found three Palestinian workers without permits who were employed in construction work at the site.

Detectives from the Central Unit of the Tel Aviv District Police arrived at Musli's home to conduct a routine check and ensure he was complying with the restrictions of the court order imposed on him. Upon entering the house, the detectives noticed three workers engaged in renovation work. A brief check revealed that the three are residents of the territories who are staying in Israel illegally.

Following the discovery, Musli and his partner were detained for questioning on suspicion of employing illegal aliens. In addition, the site foreman was also detained for questioning under caution. The three Palestinian workers were arrested and transferred for police questioning.

This incident occurs a few days after Musli was released to house arrest. About a week and a half ago, the Tel Aviv District Court rejected the police's appeal, which sought to keep him in detention at a correctional facility. District Court Judge Noa Tabor ruled then that the evidentiary basis against him had not strengthened significantly, and upheld the Magistrate's Court's decision to release him under restrictive conditions.

The police initially requested to delay the release in order to appeal to the Supreme Court, but Musli was ultimately released to his home. After that decision, his defense attorneys, Yahli Sperling and Shahar Hatzroni, claimed that it was a false arrest intended to generate headlines and expressed hope that the police would act objectively in the future, a hope that is now facing another test in light of the new investigation.
