The family of Mali and Liel Yahalomi, the Israeli mother and daughter missing in Vienna, is sharply criticizing recent publications and briefings by police and investigative officials.
In an official statement, the family clarified: "We view with utmost severity the briefings circulated in recent hours, which create the public impression that a conclusion has already been established regarding the circumstances of Mali and Liel's disappearance. The family possesses information that fundamentally contradicts several of the claims raised in these reports."
According to the family, the information provided to them by the police shows no unusual activity on the bank accounts of either woman: "We unequivocally clarify that at this stage, there is no basis for ruling out the possibility of a nationalistically motivated terrorist incident."
