Lyon, France (HNNUSA)– On Monday, INTERPOL joined a Dubai based international task force investigating the murder of Palestinian national and Hamas official Mahmoud al-Mabhouh on January 19, 2010. At the request of UAE/Dubai authorities, the world police body has also issued another 16 Red Notices to assist in the arrest of additional suspects now linked to the murder of Al-Mabhouh, bringing the total to 27.
The creation of the task force and the publication of the new Red Notices came as investigative information provided by the authorities in Dubai bore out the international links and broad scope of the number of people involved, as well as the role of two ‘teams’ of individuals identified by the Dubai police as being linked to Al-Mabhouh’s murder.
The suspects were carrying passports from different countries, 3 from Australia, 3 Irish, 3 from France, 6 were British and other countries. 14 of the alleged hitmen had used Mastercard credit cards to pay for hotel rooms and travel expenses. The credit cards were traced back to META, a U.S. regional bank that issued them. META Bank provided information to Dubai police that the credit cards were provided prepaid by Payoneer, a company headquartered in New York City and operating a development and research center in Tel Aviv, Dubai police informed. Both META and Payoneer are looking into the matter and cooperating with Dubai authorities.
Dubai police now say they have issued international warrants for 27 suspects, including the 11 suspects INTERPOL had previously issued Red notices for. In total, 6 women and 21 men allegedly conspired to commit murder in Dubai. Dubai homicide investigators now say they are 100% sure, the suspects are connected to Mossad, the Israel intelligence Agency known to operate a spy and hitmen network. As of yet, no reward has been offered for information leading to the true identities of the suspects and information leading to their arrest and conviction.
The Red notices were sent to 188 countries connected with INTERPOL, and authorities have been alerted that authentic passports have been altered by the suspects. The INTERPOL alert prevents a suspect from using the passport to travel.
