The UAE Ministry of Interior states that the individuals arrested in the case of Rabbi Kogan’s murder are from Uzbekistan.
The Ministry of Interior of the United Arab Emirates says the three suspects arrested in connection with the murder of the Israeli-Moldovan rabbi are from Uzbekistan.
The ministry, releasing images of the detainees, said two are 28 years old and the third is 33 years old.
These three individuals were arrested yesterday afternoon, shortly after the discovery of Tzvi Kogan’s body in the city of Al Ain, UAE.
The UAE Ministry of Interior stated that investigations are still ongoing but did not specify whether the detainees have been officially charged.
Emirati officials have not yet commented on a possible motive.
Rabbi Kogan was a representative of the fundamentalist Jewish organization called Chabad and had a history of service in the Israeli army.
He went missing on Thursday, and it is expected that his body will be taken to Israel today.
