The lawyer of Yoav Eliasi ('The Shadow') — a figure under investigation by the Police Internal Affairs Department (Mahash) — said the probe is part of a left-wing effort to oust his client. According to Channel 14's Boaz Golan, the lawyer stated: 'There is work of the left here to oust him.'
Yoav Eliasi (The Shadow), a prominent Israeli digital activist, was summoned to the Police Internal Affairs Department (Mahash) earlier today. He and three police officers were subsequently released under restrictive conditions, suspected of breach of trust. As The Zioneer reported earlier, the investigation centers on allegations that the officers provided benefits to a nightclub owned by Eliasi’s brother. Later this afternoon, Eliasi’s lawyer told Channel 14 that the probe is a left-wing attempt to oust his client. The investigation continues; no charges have been filed.
