Tony Bargig, an Israeli businessman and casino owner, was reportedly murdered in Prague on June 4, 2026. Known as the 'King of Slot Machines,' Bargig, 54, had been living in Prague for several years and owned several gambling businesses. The Prague police confirmed that they are investigating the case and that another individual is involved in his death. Bargig had a controversial history, having faced legal issues in Israel for operating approximately 15 illegal casinos from 2008 to 2014. He was indicted for these crimes but received a relatively light sentence of 15 months in prison in 2020 as part of a plea deal, along with a forfeiture of one million shekels and a fine of 350,000 shekels. Additionally, he was embroiled in disputes with the Israeli Tax Authority over undeclared earnings, which allegedly totaled tens of millions of shekels. His marriage to Nurit, an active-duty officer in the Israel Police during his investigations, also raised concerns among police officials, leading to her transfer to a different district.
