Meyer Lansky Leaves Israel for Zurich Flight
Meyer Lansky, the reputed crime czar, quietly exited Israel bound for Zurich under expulsion threat. Interior Ministry officials said he left the country after a government ruling deemed him a threat to public safety. His visa case arose from a failed bid for citizenship under Israel’s law of return, and his U.S. indictment for illegal gambling and tax evasion remained active. Local Swissair sources noted no listing for Lansky on the Zurich flight, suggesting travel under an assumed name.
