Likud asks AG to investigate deal between police, Gantz’s security firm

The Likud party is requesting that the attorney general investigate former police chief Roni Alsheich and and former IDF chief Benny Gantz in the wake of a report claiming police invested millions of shekels into Gantz’s cyber security company without a tender.

On Friday, Haaretz reported that the Israel Police in 2017 invested millions in an unspecified pilot program run by a now defunct company that offered artificial intelligence solutions to law enforcement agencies.

The report says the joint venture amounting to NIS 4 million ($1.1 million) went ahead in 2017 without a tender, as required by law.
