Justice caught up with a drug trafficker and money launderer who spent more than six years on the run in the Middle East, when he was jailed for nine years this week, concluding a long-drawn investigation that included extradition from Israel.
Eitan Benzur, 65, who was previously based in Maida Vale, London, fled to Israel after the National Crime Agency (NCA) officers found more than £400,000 (Dh20,76,888) in cash at his flat and in bank safety deposit boxes. The British national had been on bail following his arrest in February 2014 as part of an NCA investigation into drug trafficking and money laundering.

ACCORDING to Anthony Albanese, he went for a substantial reshuffle to his frontbench to “get the most out of Labor”.
True, Albanese shuffled more individuals than Scott Morrison did but in the current dire circumstances where Labor is staring down the barrel of a significant defeat, these latest changes are nowhere near enough.
Several Labor members expressed disappointment to me. They see no regeneration or renewal. No new talented backbenchers elevated. No new exciting policies or signals that the party will move to the electable middle ground.
There were subtle demotions of those who posed a threat to Albanese.
Tanya Plibersek was relieved of vocational training and skills, Clare O’Neill shifted from an economic portfolio to assisting Mark Butler on aged care, and Bill Shorten, one of the opposition’s top performers, was left at the bottom of the shadow ministerial list.

Labor is pushing for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine in a bid to move away from state border closures and pop-up infections, says Labor MP Clare O’Neill.
“We know that’s going to keep going until we’ve got really widespread vaccination rates,” she told Sky News.
Ms O’Neill pointed to countries – including the United States and Israel – where millions of people have already been vaccinated.
“We’ve seen a lot of media releases about things that are good news, but we actually need to see people starting to get injections around the country and so that’s really what Labor’s looking for”.
