Mahash is questioning a police captain on suspicion of breach of trust linked to the affair of the commander known as 'the Shadow,' according to a report by journalist Adar Gitzis. The investigation follows the Shadow's suspension after he boasted about his connections to a Tel Aviv entertainment complex.
Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash) is questioning a police officer with the rank of captain on suspicion of breach of trust, in connection with the affair of the former police commander known as 'the Shadow.' The development follows the earlier suspension of 'the Shadow,' who was removed from his role as commander of the Tel Aviv district emergency squad after boasting about his connections to a Tel Aviv entertainment complex he co-owned.
As The Zioneer reported on July 30, Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai ordered the suspension of the officer known as 'the Shadow' after a Haaretz investigation alleged he exploited his police position for the commercial venue. The current investigation marks a new phase in the affair, with Mahash now examining whether a separate officer assisted in the matter.
The identity of the officer being questioned has not been released. The investigation is ongoing, and no charges have been filed.
