Israel is currently looking into online reports alleging that the United Arab Emirates has issued death sentences to three Uzbek nationals in connection with the killing of Chabad-Lubavitch shliach Rabbi Zvi Kogan Hy”d.
The suspects were apprehended in Turkey shortly after the incident and were later handed over to UAE authorities.
A recording of a phone call between one of the accused men and his mother was posted on X, in which he tells her about the punishment he was given.
From the time of their arrest, the three were believed to be involved in extremely serious offenses that could result in capital punishment.
Rabbi Kogan served as a close assistant to Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Duchman, the chief rabbi of the United Arab Emirates.
The attackers, all from Uzbekistan, allegedly targeted Rabbi Kogan under orders from Iranian operatives. They are believed to have followed him from his job at a kosher grocery store in Abu Dhabi before fleeing to Turkey. His abandoned vehicle was later discovered roughly 90 minutes away from Dubai.
An Israeli official told Kan 11 that Kogan had been abducted by “terrorists.”
