Itzhik Abergil denied these allegations, stating that ''"[He had] never been to the United States and all of the allegations against [him] are a police provocation [and that] they are trying to falsely accuse [him]”'' <ref name=ynet2/>.

Police learned recently that at least two [[Contract killing|contract killers]], believed to be from the [[Commonwealth of Independent States]], had come to [[Israel]] at the behest of a rival crime family embroiled in a vendetta with the Abergil crime syndicate. <ref name=haaretz5>[http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/910154.html Police warn reputed mobster of hit team sent to kill him] By Uri Blau, Haaretz Correspondent (12:07 07/10/2007), accessed 27 August 2008</ref> Izthik Abergil has accumulated a number of powerful enemies and survived several assassination attempts. He is also believed to have sent out killers to deal with his enemies. In December 2002, one of Abergil's main rivals, underworld kingpin [[Ze'ev Rosenstein]], was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to assassinate both Abergils. The latest vendetta of the Abergil family apparently involved the [[Alperon|Alperon crime organization]].<ref name=haaretz6>[http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/912268.html Police: Alperon family hired foreign hitmen to kill mob boss Abergil] By Roni Singer-Heruti,, Haaretz Correspondent (05:07 12/10/2007), accessed 27 August 2008</ref> Until recently, the two crime families were believed to be allies. But relations have apparently soured in the past year, and violence has erupted between them several times. <ref name=haaretz5/> Their rivalry is believed to be fueled by competition over bottle recycling in central Israel, a business that earns millions of shekels annually and is largely controlled by the underworld. <ref name=haaretz6/> |
