Michael Mor

Undeworld kingpin Michael Mor walked out of Shata Prison a free man on Thursday morning. Ignoring the legions of cameramen and reporters who waited for him outside the facility, located 15 km. from Afula, he headed directly to Mount Meron and the tomb of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai to pray
.
Mor, dubbed the ‘godfather of the North,’ served a two-year prison sentence after being convicted for trying to extort judges and making death threats
 
 Mor is one of two alleged Nahariya underworld figures targeted by four ‘vigilante’ policemen who were sentenced to a year in jail last month. The policemen were convicted of planting bombs aimed at Mor and Rafi Ben-Shalom.
