French actor and political activist Dieudonné M’bala M’bala says Israel has brought together the world’s "gangsters and thieves."

Israel is a hotbed for the world’s greatest mafia due to the massive inflow of criminally-obtained funds, a French actor has claimed.

"Israel has turned into a place for the gangsters and the thieves who rob the world not to mention lawyers," Dieudonné M’bala M’bala, the actor and political activist, told Press TV.

"I think that Israel has brought them together," he said. "The greatest mafia in the history of mankind has been located there."

He also cited the Wall Street investor and multi-billion-dollar Ponzi schemer, Bernard Madof, who, he said, "managed to make a lot of money, a lot of which went to Israel."

Dieudonné, who has unsuccessfully run for parliamentary and European Union elections on many occasions and for two French presidential elections, has been repeatedly convicted by French and Canadian courts for making anti-Semitic statements.
