Ousted senior cop cries foul over internal affairs ‘leak’

The head of the Israel Police’s Lahav 433 anti-corruption unit, who resigned his position last week, files a complaint with the Justice Ministry against the ministry’s Police Internal Investigations Department, demanding an investigation into leaks of recordings relating to the sexual harassment complaint against him.

Roni Rittman says that audio footage of Israel Police brass discussing his case, as well as conversing with the female subordinate who had filed the complaint, could indicate the investigation in his case had been obstructed.

Rittman, 53, was pushed out after the High Court of Justice slammed his reinstatement to the force.

He claims the recordings may have been leaked, “casting a dark shadow” over the investigation.
