The Police Commissioner has frozen the volunteer service of Chief Superintendent 'Hatzel' Eliasi, according to i24NEWS. The decision follows a Haaretz investigation that obtained recordings allegedly showing Eliasi using his police connections to benefit a leisure complex in which he was a partner. Eliasi, who began his volunteer service two years ago in a Tel Aviv emergency response squad, has been dismissed from his role.
The Zioneer has previously reported on other disciplinary cases in Israeli security forces, including the forced leave of Maj.-Gen. Alona Shushan pending a harassment probe, and the freezing of reserve service of Deputy Brigade Commander Eli Meiri for political activity in uniform. These are separate incidents.
Eliasi's response to the allegations has not been reported, and the full content of the recordings has not been made public.
