Colombia hits international gang that promoted sex tourism with children

BOGOTA

Colombia’s booming tourism industry has a dark underbelly.

Authorities say they’ve broken up an “Israeli mafia” that allegedly promoted drug-fueled parties and sex with minors to international tourists.

In a series of raids, Attorney General Néstor Humberto Martínez said authorities had detained eight people, including six Israelis and two Colombians. Among those arrested were Mor Zohar, described as an Israeli ringleader, and a Colombian policeman who was accused of passing confidential information to the group. Arrest warrants have been issued for another eight Israelis.

Authorities also seized almost $50 million in assets and property from the organization, including hotels in Santa Marta, Cartagena, Medellín and the capital, Bogotá.
