Zeev Rosenstein is an infamous Israeli mob boss and drug trafficker. Rosenstein was born to a Romanian Jewish father and a mountain Jewish mother in Yafo, Israel.
However, with the exception of a robbery conviction in the 1970s, Israeli police had never managed to gather sufficient evidence to indict Rosenstein.
On 11 December 2003, a bomb aimed at Rosenstein killed three people and injured 18 others in Tel Aviv. The bombing led to a media outcry against the Israeli mob families, with newspapers comparing them with the Palestinians in terms of threat to the Israeli state. Ariel Sharon called an emergency cabinet meeting and the government announced an extra 500 million shekels in the fight against organised crime. The bombing was the seventh attempt on the life of Rosenstein, who became known as the "wolf with seven lives", and was said to have been carried out by the Abergil Crime Family, which Rosenstein had been feuding with for several years.
In November 2004, after 700,000 ecstasy tablets were seized in a Manhattan apartment, he was charged with distributing Ecstasy in the United States in a joint effort of U.S. Department of Justice and Israeli Ministry of Justice.
