The Police Internal Investigations Department (Machash) arrested a police officer residing in northern Israel on Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of committing offenses against his former partner. According to N12, the officer is suspected of using intimate materials to threaten and extort her.
The arrest adds to a series of internal police investigations The Zioneer has covered in recent days. On Tuesday, a Coastal District intelligence coordinator was arrested on bribery suspicions; earlier this week, a Beersheba officer was indicted for assaulting and threatening a fellow officer, and a police officer was sentenced to eight months for assaulting his partner. The current case involves alleged digital coercion rather than physical violence.
The suspect's identity and the specific police station where he serves have not been released. The investigation is ongoing.
