Police minister: ‘Many need to apologize’ after report turns up no illegal hacking
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePublic Security Minister Omer Barlev, who oversees police, applauds law enforcement after an investigation into illegal police hacking turns up no evidence of wrongdoing.
The report is “a resounding victory for Israel Police and those who wear the uniform,” Barlev says.
“There are many officials today that need to bow their heads and apologize to Israel’s policewomen and policemen and their families — 30,000 public servants whose names have been smeared in the mud in every forum in recent weeks,” Barlev says.
He says he aims to restore public faith in police, which has been severely damaged.
“Together we will protect democracy. Together we will defend the country,” he says.
