LIMA, Peru — A Peru vian judge has ordered 18 months of preventative detention for an Iran ian and two Peru vian men while they are investigated for allegedly attempting to kill two Israelis living in the South American country.
On March 15, after Azizi’s arrest, the Israeli embassy in Lima thanked the Peruvian police and prosecutor’s office in a press release “for having dismantled an Iranian attack that was directed against an Israeli citizen.” The other Israeli citizen who they allegedly planned to kill was Gilad Duchovny, who opened a cafe in Cusco in 2006 with his twin brother.
Azizi’s defense has denied all the charges against him and says he suffers from a serious heart condition.
