The Third Criminal Sentencing Court authorized the extradition of Shmiel Weingarten, brother of community leader Lev Tahor, who is also required by the United States accused of alleged crimes against children.


Shmiel Weingarten, brother of community leader Lev Tahor Yakov Weingarten, will suffer the same fate, after the Third Criminal Sentencing Court authorized his extradition to the United States, where he is required for the alleged commission of crimes against children.


Upon verifying that there are no pending processes in Guatemala, it is ordered that the Guatemalan Foreign Ministry be notified so that it proceeds to coordinate the delivery once the sentence is final.




The Third Court of Criminal Sentencing authorized the extradition of the leader of Lev Tahor, Yakov Weingarten to the United States to face the justice of that country that points him out for crimes against children.


This is the reason why the United States has requested that Yakov Weingarten, leader of the Lev Tahor community, be sent to that country to face justice, a situation for which this Thursday the Third Court of Criminal Sentencing after analyzing the arguments of the Public Ministry and the defense, has decided to authorize the extradition of the requested party.




Despite being indicted in Israel and put on trial for the severe physical and mental abuse of children, the Israeli Justice Ministry has apparently not requested that Interpol issue an arrest warrant for Elazar Rumpler, who fled Israel last year.


Currently, the Interpol database of its Red Notices does not include Rumpler.


Rumpler is a member of the ultra-Orthodox Lev Tahor cult and was indicted in the Jerusalem District Court in May 2020 for the abuse of two children in the school where he served as principal in Canada between 2009 and 2011.
