Uda Organization
The Uda Organization is a crime group in Israel, mainly based in Jaljulia. It is led by Koteir (Koko) Uda, who is also written as Cottier Odeh. Uda started as a foot soldier in the Hariri crime family in Tayibe, then formed his own crew from his neighborhood.
The organization has been accused of many violent crimes, including murders, assassination attempts, extortion, and other violence in central Israel. They are said to operate from a fortified compound in Jaljulia. Some people suspect they work as contract killers for other crime groups.
One alleged incident involves Uda traveling to South Africa to practice with a sniper rifle in preparation for an planned assassination. Despite these crimes, Uda is known to have relationships with people from different backgrounds, including a romantic relationship with a Jewish woman and close ties to Jewish crime bosses such as Eytan Haya and the Moslis.
The Department of Corrections has linked Uda to recent prison shootings, said to be retaliation for being denied permission to attend his older brother’s funeral after his brother died of cardiac arrest.
