Nevada U.S. Attorney Alleges Judicial System Enabled Israeli Cyber Executive's Flight

Nevada's Acting U.S. Attorney, Lesley Miller, has publicly accused a state court judge and a district attorney of allowing Tom Alexandrovich, an Israeli Cyber Security & AI Defense Executive Director, to flee the United States to Israel. Alexandrovich, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, was facing federal charges related to fraud and money laundering at the time of his departure. The dramatic exit has ignited a controversy over judicial oversight and international extradition processes.

Alexandrovich was known for his involvement in highly sensitive cyber projects with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), raising significant security concerns following his flight. According to a social media post by "Publius," the U.S. Attorney, identified as @USAttyChattah on X, directly blamed a "liberal" judicial system for the executive's escape.

"🚨 UPDATE: @USAttyChattah is BLAMING a 'liberal' DA & state court judge for allowing Israeli Cyber Security & AI Defense Executive Director to flee back to Israel," the tweet stated.

Adding to the controversy, Lesley Miller, the Acting U.S. Attorney for Nevada, recently deleted her personal X account, formerly known as @Chattah4Nevada. This action occurred in the wake of the allegations and has drawn further scrutiny to the handling of the Alexandrovich case. Miller's office has not officially commented on the account deletion.

Reports also indicate that Israeli officials had initially denied knowledge of Alexandrovich's arrest or whereabouts immediately following his flight, though this stance has reportedly evolved as U.S. pressure mounted for his return. Furthermore, allegations suggest that Alexandrovich's unit has been actively attempting to censor information online regarding the case, complicating the narrative and public understanding. The incident underscores the complexities of prosecuting individuals with dual nationality and the challenges faced in international legal cooperation.
