The biggest health care firm in South Africa has been charged with cooperating with an Israeli-linked organ trafficking syndicate.
The South African government said that the head of the Netcare company and a director of the St. Augustine's Hospital in Durban, Richard Friedland, had been aware of illegal kidney trade at the hospital, but "nevertheless permitted these operations" to take place, South African daily The Times reported on Wednesday.
The police said that wealthy Israelis paid organ dealers between 2001 and 2003, the year when the ring was exposed, the German Press Agency (DPA) reported.
"Israeli citizens in need of kidney transplants would be brought to South Africa for transplants at St. Augustine's Hospital," read the charge sheet.
"They paid kidney suppliers for these operations. [The kidneys] were initially sourced from Israeli citizens, but later Romanian and Brazilian citizens were recruited as their kidneys were obtainable at a much lower cost than those of the Israeli suppliers," it added.
An Israeli middleman, named Ilan Perry, received between USD 97,676 and USD 118,607 to arrange for the operations.
This is while, those who provided the kidneys were paid approximately between USD 6,000 and USD 20,000.
Five notable South African physicians, working in Durban have also been charged in the illegal organ-trafficking case.
The report also said that Netcare is being charged with setting up the syndicate with the assistance of prominent kidney specialist Jeffrey Kallmeyer and Perry.
The report comes as earlier last year, another report surfaced about an Israeli plot to kidnap children and harvest their organs.
According to the report, some 25,000 Ukrainian children had been brought into Israel over the past two years to be used by Israeli medical centers for their "spare parts."
The Israeli military is also accused of stealing the organs of Palestinian prisoners.

If at first, you don't succeed, try, try again,seems to be the credo of Israeli criminal medical establishments yet trafficking in illegal organ donations, specifically to serve Israeli elites. Cosmi Manzerbatia? I know where you are, brother and know what you are doing, we need to talk, Yes?
ReplyDeleteBreaking the law, from Hoboken New Jersey to South African St Augustine hospital, is something that Israeli Jews do perhaps out of their sense of being chosen people of G-d, as they aver, not actually allowed to utter the name, Jehovah, Allah or God, why do law breakers of this ilk feel so limited in adressing the virtue of their indebtedness directly we should ask?
Disrespect for common and international mores translated as humana nd spiritual law is disrespect for our brothers and sisters of lessor means, given that the poorest of the poor in Jewish communities die daily with no special access to liver donors or the special privilege of not waiting until a proper donor is found, through legal channels. These Jews wait patiently and if they find no replacement for their fading or failing organs they pass unto Jehovah in faith and the promise that it is time to die, and fearing not death they succumb to the law as they ought.
Certainly, the privilege of such a disgraceful fearing of law abidance for the privilege of prolonged life holds it's pathology is a feeling of supremacy, perhaps not so much of ethnicity but of the privileges of ethnicity as defined in opportunistic expressions of wealth, rather than blessed impunity from prosecution for crime.
Choosing to be above the law, from the backdrop of moneyed elite privilege is not respective only to Jews, zionism or to Israel but a pervasive cancer in many ethnic circles where money buys life and the lack of it builds faith, the the providences of acceptance of God's laws as well as those agreed to by humanity under the tutelage of God's laws.
Not one tittle or jot of the law shall pass until the son of man comes to reign in God's kingdom, that being of hearts of the faithful intoned to the law and obedience, these create that body of the kingdom and without there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. The Ummah, Holy Spirit and it's spirituality is defined as acceptance of the rigid codes by which we are to conduct ourselves towards the kingdoms halls, it pillars and floors. Walking here we abide in the law, weeping and gnashing, we walk in disgraceful disobediance and that a wide path to destruction sewn by irreverence of the law, abiding in disobediance, we perish, for to abide as such we select our fate and that certainly not with those who waited and prayed, while others stole their fortunes for a time of fleeting pleasure, those who do the right and lawful thing, know it;s rewards, those who disobey know not what they do, but surely abide not with their own faithful but above them in mammon, far below in the kingdom, where God sees the works of every heart.
