Cop who probed Netanyahu to step down after being skipped on for promotion
The head of the Israel Police National Financial Investigations Unit, who was one of the officials responsible for the investigations of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will retire from the force.
Media reports indicate Eli Assayag may be quitting due to not being promoted during a recent round of police appointments.
Associates tell Channel 12 news Assayag had hoped to next head the Lahav 433 anti-corruption unit, but was skipped over for the role.
He is expected to end his 35-year service in the coming months.
