There is certainly plenty of ongoing coverage of his death, including international coverage. This might have qualified under  but he appears to have been a prominent and controversial figure before his murder as well. E.g. there are articles about him from 2010 in Ha'aretzhttp://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/u-s-prosecutors-probing-israeli-rabbi-over-fraud-1.263504,http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/n-y-jews-accuse-be-er-sheva-kabbalist-of-massive-fraud-1.263772 and in New York Posthttp://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/brooklyn/rabbi_runs_kabbalah_con_in_ny_qbrPadCHtGP6LspsGPzPqI, again Ha'aretz in 2003http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/fraud-probe-against-abuhatzeira-dropped-1.16734,  Jerusalem Post in 2004http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/jpost/access/620487351.html?dids=620487351:620487351&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Apr+15%2C+2004&author=David+Rudge%2C+Etgar+Lefkovits%2C+Dan+Izenberg%2C+Abigail+Radoszkowicz&pub=Jerusalem+Post&desc=News+in+brief&pqatl=google, etc. As Cullen328 notes, presumably many more sources exist in Hebrew language press.
