Kogan, who was also a Moldovan citizen, was reported missing by family on November 21. An investigation was initiated, during which his body was found and the perpetrators were identified. Authorities said legal proceedings had been initiated against the arrested suspects.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office condemned Kogan’s murder as a “heinous” act.

The UAE stressed that the country will use “all legal powers to respond decisively and without mitigation to any actions or attempts that threaten social stability.”
