How Israeli ex-soldiers turned a Colombia fishing town into a sex and drug den

How Israeli ex-soldiers turned a Colombia fishing town into a sex and drug den
written by Richard Kelleher February 6, 2017





Following local upset about Israeli tourists’ drug and prostitution use in Colombia’s coastal village of Taganga, website Las 2 Orillas found that trouble began when former Israeli soldiers decided to build a backpackers’ resort.

The problems in Taganga are centered specifically around an Israeli-owned tourist center called Hotel Benjamin, located on the side of the bay.

The founder is ex-soldier Assi Moosh, who saw potential for business for other former soldiers who had been in obligatory military service for three years.

By 2015, he had completed an enormous construction that now serves as the epicenter for Taganga’s wild parties that have become a thorn in the side of the locals: an enormous hotel-fortress complete with a bay view, basketball court and swimming pool.
