A covert investigation has raised suspicion that a female officer (34, Hod HaSharon) serving at the prison where the brother of fugitive murder suspect Avior Sasson is incarcerated, allegedly conducted a romantic relationship with him and assisted in his escape, according to N12.
A new twist in the Avior Sasson case: a covert investigation has raised suspicion that a female Israel Prison Service officer (34, Hod HaSharon) allegedly conducted a romantic relationship with the brother of fugitive murder suspect Avior Sasson and assisted in his escape, according to N12. The officer was arrested earlier Tuesday morning on suspicion of obstruction of investigation and breach of trust, as first reported by multiple news outlets.
The thread of reports published on Tuesday morning shows the progression of details: initial reports (at 11:09 Jerusalem) stated the officer was arrested on suspicion of obstruction and breach of trust. Subsequent reports specified that she was suspected of aiding the main suspect's escape. The latest report from N12 reveals the alleged romantic relationship as the motive for her assistance. The brother was serving a prison sentence at the time of the alleged escape.
As The Zioneer previously reported, police have been employing pressure tactics to force Avior Sasson to turn himself in, including the arrest of his 15-year-old sister and confrontations with associates. The manhunt for Sasson, the main suspect in the murder of Binyahu Razi, continues.
The investigation is ongoing. The officer's exact role and the circumstances of the alleged escape remain under scrutiny. Avior Sasson remains at large.
