Gor Finkelstein who had been an attorney representing scientology in Israel didn't have a very good Sunday.
He already was sitting in prison as the police suspected that:
1) Finkelstein paid hundreds of thousands of shekels to seven alleged Jaffa mobsters to bomb the Scientology Center building in Jaffa for financial gain. When the plot, involving a truck filled with gas canisters and 300 liters of gasoline failed, the men were ordered to set the building on fire. That attempt resulted in failure as well.
(EDIT: From a previous news story, also from The Jerusalem Post:
"The suspects had allegedly planned for that attack to be blamed on Jewish religious organizations that are opposed to the presence of Scientology in Israel." )

2) He sent the men on failed bids to kill a senior Tel Aviv Municipality official, Sota Hovel, who had disrupted his financial plans for the Scientology building.
3) He's also accused of hiring hit men to murder his ex-wife and her partner, Daniel Cohen, in Haifa. Those assassination attempts, which involved a bomb planted in the partner’s car, failed. The device went off as the partner and his daughter were in the vehicle.
Today (Sunday) he was arrested (again) in Hasharon Prison under suspicion that he attempted to arrange the murder of a witness in his current trial. Finkelstein's father was also arrested on suspicion that he tried to help hire the hit-man to kill the witness.
