Rabbis Traficking Human Organs
An Israeli man who lives in Brooklyn pleaded guilty on Thursday to charges of brokering a kidney transplant as part of a black market organ business. This is the first human organ trafficking conviction in the United States. For many years, Israel has been at the top of organ trafficking. Rosenbaum received at least 0000 for trafficked organs. Rosenbaum was identified to the FBI seven years ago as a major figure in a global human organ ring. Rosenbaum was also arrested in July 2009. The FBI had begun a crackdown on money laundering and political corruption in New Jersey. If convicted of his most recent crimes, Rosenbaum could serve five years for each count and be ordered to pay a 0000 fine. Rosenbaum agreed to forfeit his earning and might be deported back to Israel. He is currently under house arrest and will receive sentencing in February. See: www.veteranstoday.com
