Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, a senior Israeli official heading a division at Israel's National Cyber Directorate, was arrested in Las Vegas during a two-week FBI-led sting operation targeting child sex predators. He was charged with felony luring a minor and attempting to sexually assault a 15-year-old girl. Alexandrovich posted $10,000 bail, was not required to surrender his passport, and subsequently fled to Israel. The U.S. Attorney for Nevada, Sigal Chattah, an Israeli-born official appointed by former President Trump, declined to prosecute Alexandrovich, leaving the case to the local district attorney. Chattah has faced criticism for her handling of the case and her previous campaign emphasis on her Israeli citizenship. The U.S. State Department has denied any governmental role in facilitating Alexandrovich's release or departure. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson described the bail procedure as standard, while other Nevada attorneys and political figures expressed outrage. Alexandrovich, who also leads efforts to censor social media content on behalf of Israel, openly confessed to his crimes during police interrogation. A leak from Israel's Ministry of Justice revealed numerous ignored or delayed international legal requests, including U.S. extradition cases for child sex abuse suspects, with Alexandrovich among them. The incident has sparked calls for his extradition and raised concerns about national security given his access to elite spyware. The controversy has drawn attention to the broader issue of American pedophiles fleeing to Israel under the Law of Return and the challenges of international legal cooperation in such cases.
