TL;DR

The Israel Police's head of public affairs, who is suspected of sexual harassment, was questioned again today by the Competition Authority. The investigation is ongoing, according to i24NEWS.

01 · THE DISPATCH

This is the latest development in a widening investigation involving senior Israel Police officials. The head of the police spokesperson division is now facing a second round of questioning at the Competition Authority, following an earlier probe by the same body into an alleged improper relationship with a Mahash (Internal Police Investigations) investigator. The sexual harassment allegation adds a new dimension to the case, which first emerged with the Mahash-related inquiry. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Chief Superintendent Lior Avudraham was questioned for seven hours on Wednesday over the earlier complaint. The current questioning appears to be separate. A source familiar with the previous probe said Avudraham denies all allegations.
