Tel Aviv District Court on Tuesday sentenced Rami Yogev, a former senior security official at national airline El Al, to 12 years in prison for his part in a smuggling ring that brought 150 kilograms of cocaine into the country.
Judge Morechai Levy said at the sentencing that it was “one of the most serious drug incidents the country has ever known.” The defendant, he said, “seriously damaged the public’s trust in gatekeepers.”
