Israel Police Commissioner Danny Levi ordered Maj.-Gen. Alona Shushan to take forced leave pending the investigation into Chief Superintendent Lior Avudraham, N12 reported Thursday evening. Shushan, the police's human resources chief, had filed a sexual harassment complaint against Avudraham, who heads the police spokesperson division. The complaint was first reported by N12 on Sunday evening. Levi previously addressed the ongoing investigation into both officers on suspicion of witness harassment in a letter to all personnel on Tuesday, June 23, emphasizing the presumption of innocence. The forced leave order is a procedural step pending the outcome of the investigation; it does not constitute a finding of guilt and no charges have been filed against either officer as of Thursday.
