Attorney general wades into conflict-of-interest debate over a new police chief
Attorney General Yehudah Weinstein wades into the debate over the appointment of the next commissioner of the Israel Police.
Amid criticism over the possibility that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may be involved in choosing the next commissioner, or extending the term of Commissioner Roni Alsheich, while he is himself the subject of multiple criminal investigations, Weinstein sends a letter today to Erdan asking him to “consult with the undersigned so I can examine any concerns over conflict of interest on the part of members of the cabinet who are under police investigations.”
