Dramatic reporting in Russia. In the news agency REN TV it was announced that former soccer player Liron Basis was arrested in a hotel in Russia, after he was allegedly wanted by Interpol on suspicion of fraud. According to the report, it is claimed that this is an alleged arrest warrant issued by the German Interpol to the Russian police.
It is important to note, at the moment this is only a report and it has not yet been officially verified, When the Israel Police and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are not familiar with the incident and are following it to learn its credibility, if at all. The relatives of Liron Bess are also unaware of the incident, and learned about it only from the media, when it is not clear if he committed a crime and what it was about.
Basis did grow up in Maccabi Haifa, but he is mainly remembered from the championship season with city rival Hapoel Haifa in 1999, alongside coach Eli Gutman and star Giovanni Russo. He played a total of 16 seasons and spent, among other things, in Maccabi Tel Aviv, Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Beer Sheva. He finished his career in 2008 in Maccabi Amishab Petach Tikva.
