An Israeli fugitive was arrested in Thailand yesterday in possession of a fake Maldivian passport.
Forty-one year-old Levy Ben-David escaped from an Israeli prison in 2000, after being convicted for robbing and murdering the owners of a jewelry shop in Belgium in 1993.
The fake Maldivian passport Ben-David was using to evade authorities was in the name of Dmitry Milevm, according to Thai police, who arrested him in a Bangkok apartment.
An Israeli newspaper reported that Ben-David had married a Thai woman and had two children. He is due to be extradited.
