Amos was arrested and soon began to tell investigators about his father, who fled to New York shortly after Amos' arrest. Outraged that Elimelech would send his own son on a smuggling trip, the Israeli police decided to seek his extradition. Maloul and Sasson are in prison in Europe, as are many other couriers and connections involved in the ring.
