Website: Dutch arrest suspect with possible link to Prague casino attack

A Czech-language website (novinky.cz) has reported that earlier this week Dutch law officials arrested a suspect who may have ordered last month's Prague casino attack. On August 1st an unknown assailant lobbed a grenade at a vehicle belonging to a Prague-based Israeli casino owner, rumoured to have ties in the underworld.

The attack, in which 18 pedestrians and tourists were injured on a busy Prague street, was widely considered as a settling of scores between rival gangs.

The suspect is reportedly Itzik Abergil, an influential boss in the Israeli underworld, says Czech website novinky.cz quoting the Israeli press. Dutch authorities detained Mr Abergil in Amsterdam on Wednesday on suspicion of drug smuggling from Belgium to the Netherlands.
