Border cop arrested on suspicion of forging entry permits for West Bank Palestinians

Investigators arrested a Border Police officer in Jerusalem yesterday on suspicion of forging entry permits for West Bank Palestinians who want to cross into Israel, in exchange for bribes.

The officer allegedly impersonated intelligence officers and coordinators, signing their name on the fake permits, says the Department for Internal Police Investigations.

He is being probed on suspicion of accepting bribes, impersonation, forging documents and breach of trust, prosecutors say.

The suspect will be brought before the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court today, where law enforcement will request that he be kept in custody.
