Orel Ben Haim and Arbel Mizrahi speak in a new yes documentary about smuggling cocaine and ketamine into Israel, refusing to identify their handler, serving time alongside the country’s most notorious female offenders and rebuilding their lives after prisonRotem Izak|A seemingly insignificant fashion choice placed Orel Ben Haim, Arbel Mizrahi, Lee Pony and Idan Zauber in the pantheon of Israeli crime.The offense they committed together in January 2023 became known as the “pink suitcase affair,” a cute name for the smuggling of 12 kilograms of cocaine and 2.2 kilograms of ketamine, worth more than 2 million shekels, into Israel.GalleryOrel Ben Haim and Arbel Mizrahi (Photo: Ilya Melnikov)“I thought that doing the opposite of what people would expect would attract less attention,” Mizrahi says, explaining the choice of the sugary color that matched the couriers’ innocent appearance but stood in stark contrast to the seriousness of the offense, which sparked an enormous public and media storm.The case officially came to an end last month when Ben Haim, who received the heaviest sentence of the four, 34 months in prison, completed her sentence. She and Mizrahi, who finished serving her own sentence last September, decided it was time to speak.“Anyone who does not know the story from the inside might think we were four complete idiots,” Mizrahi says. “And maybe we were four complete idiots, okay? But we also had life circumstances that led to this happening. We want to take responsibility for what we did and also take responsibility for our story. That matters.”Ben Haim: “I think it is only fair that we also get to say what we have to say.”Do you remember the image of you that appeared in the media?
