Israeli police on Tuesday arrested six men suspected of being involved in an organ trafficking ring, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported Wednesday.
Among the suspects are an Israeli army reserves brigadier-general and two lawyers, according to the report.
Police also said that during the investigation they uncovered a large, very well-organized industry of organ trafficking, the newspaper reported. The ring reportedly includes organ traffickers, agents, and lawyers.
"The ring is operating throughout Israel and not only in the north, and appeals to the public through local media and internet," a police official told the newspaper. "The organ traffickers somehow receive details about potential transplant candidates and they offer them their services."
