Jeweler and businessman Israel Or, a 46-year-old resident of Ramat Gan, was arrested upon landing at Ben Gurion Airport on Monday morning by Israel Police Detectives, on suspicion of raping a number of women who have opened complaints against him over the past year.
Nine complaints were filed against Or by victims claiming that they had intimate relationships with him, during which they experienced domestic and sexual violence, including alleged instances of rape.
