Mobster Zeev Rosenstein is seen on his release from prison on February 21, 2021 (FLASH90)
Notorious mobster Zeev Rosenstein, at one time Israel’s most wanted criminal, was released from prison on Sunday after winning early release on parole following over 17 years in jail.
His release came eight months before the end of his sentence after a parole board decided he did not pose a threat to the public and had tired of the criminal lifestyle, a ruling that contradicted intelligence held by police and the prison service, the Haaretz daily reported.
“The committee is under the impression that the many years the prisoner spent in prison, the treatment he underwent over the last four years and his medical condition, did indeed cause a change in his thinking. His release does not endanger public safety,” the ruling said, according to Channel 13 news.

Mobster Zeev Rosenstein wins early release from prison and is freed on parole after over 16 years.
Rosenstein, at one time Israel’s most wanted criminal, was arrested in 2004 and extradited to the United States over drug trafficking charges in 2006. He was sentenced to 17 years in prison, which he has been serving out in Israel.
In 2003, rival crime groups targeted Rosenstein in a bomb attack on a Tel Aviv street. Although Rosenstein survived the hit attempt, three innocent bystanders were killed and 18 injured in the blast, which occurred at the height of the Second Intifada, when Israelis were targeted by repeated Palestinian suicide bombings.
