A top cybersecurity official for the Israeli government was arrested in Nevada during an undercover operation targeting child sex predators.
Tom Alexandrovich was apprehended and faced felony charges of “Luring a Child with Computer for Sex Act,” according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, which assisted in conducting the operation from nearby Henderson, Nevada.
“A multi-agency operation targeting child sex predators led to the arrest of eight individuals over the last two weeks,” the department said in a release published on Friday. The release lists the names of 38-year-old Tom Artiom Alexandrovich and seven others.
Sometime after the arrest became public, Alexandrovich’s LinkedIn profile was deleted. According to a screenshot posted online, his LinkedIn said he is the Executive Director of the Israel Cyber Directorate, which is a government agency that operates under the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Alexandrovich was in Las Vegas to attend this year’s Black Hat Briefings, an annual gathering of cybersecurity professionals. He posted a photo of himself at the conference on his LinkedIn before the account was deleted.
Ynet, an Israeli news outlet, confirmed that “an employee of the Israel National Cyber Directorate” was “briefly detained for questioning.” The publication did not name Alexandrovich and omitted the fact that he was arrested.
Netanyahu’s office issued a statement and denied that the employee in question was arrested at all.
“A state employee who traveled to the U.S. for professional matters was questioned by American authorities during his stay,” the prime minister’s office said. “The employee, who does not hold a diplomatic visa, was not arrested and returned to Israel as scheduled.”

Israel has a Law of Return which has loopholes that allow Israeli criminals to flee back to Israel and avoid extradition. "Oleh" is granted for anyone with at least one Jewish grandparent or marriage to a Jew.
There was a famous case in 1997 where Samuel Sheinbein murdered the boyfriend of a girl that he was infatuated with, and he even wrote down his plan before acting it out. He brutally stun-gunned, choked, stabbed, and beat her boyfriend to death, then used a power saw to cut off the victim's arms and legs and hid them in trash bags. He flew to Israel, claimed citizenship (which was granted), and Israel refused to extradite him back to the US.
Truly our greatest ally.
