A policewoman serving as a researcher in the elite Lahav 433 investigation unit, was suspended Tuesday over her WatsApp group post that urged visitors to attend the demonstration against Prime Minister Netanyahu in Rothschild Blvd. In Tel Aviv Saturday night. Lahav 433 specializes in investigations of corruption in high places, and the suspended officer was involved in investigations of several cases against the PM, his wife and a number of his associates.
The post was exposed on Monday by News 0404.
According to Ma’ariv, police administrators initially wanted to suspend the officer only from the investigations in which she was involved directly and call her to a disciplinary hearing. But after examining the content of her WhatsApp message and in light of the appearance of a blatant bias on her part, it was decided to fire her.
Minister of Public Security Gilad Erdan has already announced that due to the nature of her conduct, the officer is not fit to serve in sensitive assignments in the future.
