3 senior Shin Bet officials under investigation for sexual misconduct

Three senior Shin Bet officials are under investigation for sexual misconduct after a former employee came forward with the allegations last month, according to the Hadashot news (formerly Channel 2).

The Justice Ministry’s Police Internal Investigations Department is investigating two of the officials for harassment, and a third official described in the report as “very senior” is under investigation for sexual assault.

The woman’s complaints have been verified by investigators, after she took a lie-detector test.

The department has filed a request with the Attorney General to continue the investigations under caution.
