Thugs charged with savage murder of Israeli businessman in his LA home are illegal immigrants — and one was released by a sanctuary city

The three men who allegedly murdered an Israeli businessman late last month in his Los Angeles home are all illegal immigrants from Georgia — one of whom was released after an earlier crime by a sanctuary city, sources told The Post.

The three attackers allegedly broke into Alexander Modebadze’s Los Angeles home, where they held the 47-year-old captive for hours before savagely beating him to death, police said in a statement.

Cops later arrested Pata Kochiashvili, Zaza Otarashvili and Besiki Khutsishvili and charged them with murder — and all three now have federal immigration detainers lodged against them, according to sources.

They are now being held on a $2 million bail.

Otarashvili and Khutsishvili were released into the US after crossing the southern border illegally under the Biden administration, according to sources.

Otarashvili was arrested by border agents after crossing the Yuma, Arizona, border illegally on July 3, 2022, and was swiftly released and instructed to report to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in New York.

He reported to ICE’s New York office roughly three weeks later and was told to come back a year later, which he failed to do.

The illegal migrant applied for asylum in October 2022, but his immigration court hearing was cancelled for an undisclosed reason.

Khutsishvili crossed the border illegally on March 18, 2022, in San Luis, Arizona, and was transferred to ICE, which released him on a $3,000 immigration bond 12 days later.

He then said he planned to move to New York, and he later filed an asylum application. Two years later, he told the immigration court he planned to move to Van Nuys, California.

His next immigration hearing is scheduled for 2028.

Kochiashvili, meanwhile, entered the US as a tourist on Oct. 8, 2017, and was required to leave by April 2018. However, he never left and later filed an asylum application that year, according to sources.

By September 2020, he was arrested by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department in West Hollywood for a burglary, but the case was terminated due to insufficient evidence.

The feds lodged a detainer for his arrest the next day, but the local cops failed to honor it before releasing the suspect.

He was arrested again in August 2022 in Palmdale, California, for marijuana cultivation, which is still a pending case. The feds again lodged a detainer a day after his arrest and were again ignored.

Hours after Modebadze’s killing, cops found a second murdered Israeli businessman, Meni Hidhra, the brother of a prison warden in the Jewish state, in the same neighborhood, the Jewish Journal reported.

Although both murders occurred in the victims’ homes in the San Fernando Valley, the two killings don’t appear to be connected.

Cops are still searching for the 30 to 40-year-old Hispanic male suspect they believe killed Hidhra.
