Avudraham denies the allegations.
Lior Avudraham, the head of the Israel Police Spokesperson's Unit, was questioned for roughly seven hours on Wednesday by the Competition Authority. The investigation stems from a complaint lodged by Israel Prisons Service Commissioner Kobi Yaakobi, who alleged an improper relationship between Avudraham and a female investigator from the Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash). The case is the latest development in a broader scandal involving associates of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. As The Zioneer reported earlier Wednesday, a Mahash investigator gave testimony before an external review team in the same affair. The allegations center on an alleged relationship between the investigator and a key witness in the Ben Gvir associates case, sparking a separate probe. Avudraham, for his part, continues to deny the allegations attributed to him. A source familiar with the matter indicated that Avudraham is expected to be questioned again, suggesting the investigation is ongoing.
