Brooklyn man accused of buying, selling kidneys

FBI says he acted as middleman between

U.S. and Israel

SOURCE: U.S. District Court of New Jersey AP

Self-described “matchmaker” Levy Izhak Rosenbaum is accused by federal authorities of acting as a broker in the trafficking of human kidneys for transplantation. Here is what authorities allege:

Prosecutors say four checks totaling $10,000 were deposited into a bank account of a charity.

In an FBI sting operation, a government informant and undercover agent approach Rosenbaum to buy a kidney.

Recipient!s blood sample is sent to Israel for screening. Donor flown to U.S. hospital for organ matching.

A fee of $160,000 is discussed—half upfront to cover cost to Israeli doctors, the donor and expenses to care for the donor following surgery.
