KUALA LUMPUR: An Israeli man who was arrested with six guns and 200 bullets in his possession, will be charged in court tomorrow.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the man who was nabbed at a hotel in March, will be charged at the KL Sessions Court.
Razarudin also said the police will seek an extension of the remand for the suspect.
On March 27, the Israeli man, identified as Shalom Avitan, was detained at a hotel in Jalan Ampang here.
He was found with six handguns, including a Glock 19 Marine, Glock 17 Gen 4, Smith and Wesson, Sig Sauer and Stoeger, along with 200 rounds of ammunition.
Investigations found Avitan entered the country on March 12 via a flight from the United Arab Emirates using a French passport.
He is believed to have come to Malaysia to kill the head of a rival criminal family.
Subsequently, police arrested a husband and wife, aged 42 and 40, at a Ramadan bazaar in Kuala Selangor on March 29, who were suspected of selling the firearms to Avitan.
The couple have since been charged in court.
Aside from Avitan and the couple, police also arrested 12 others linked to the Israeli man
