JERUSALEM: Israeli police said Tuesday that undercover officers had broken up a drug-dealing network that used a popular messaging app and had connections in the United States, Ukraine and Germany.

Police designated the ring"Crime Organisation 420" and published its organisational chart, with one person at its head and a hierarchy of executives for finance, infrastructure, security and development, among others. "That their homes were turned upside down, that they were treated worse than animals, that their little children were frightened in the middle of the night with dogs and violent shouts.""Wages for staff and managers of the organisation were transferred in cash, in bitcoins, or drugs, while concealing the source of the funds," the police statement said.

"We don't know exactly how many people are using the platform, however we have over 100,000 registered users," Silver told AFP in an online chat in 2017.Some politicians have taken up the issue of marijuana legalisation ahead of Israel's April 9 polls, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday night that he might consider it."We have increased the use of medical cannabis, bringing Israel to one of the highest levels in the world.
