A senior official at a government-owned company is under investigation by the Lahav 433 unit of the Israel Police for suspected corruption offenses, including fraud, breach of trust, and forgery. The suspect was detained Thursday morning for questioning at the unit's headquarters, and searches were conducted at his home and office. The police announced the investigation on Thursday. The article also references a separate incident last month where three Border Police officers, including the son of a senior law enforcement official, were investigated for car theft, unauthorized use of a vehicle, and abuse of power. According to the police statement at the time, the officers noticed a parked car with keys inside during a patrol in the Jerusalem vicinity. They allegedly drove the car without legal authority, causing damage to nearby vehicles, and then abandoned it without reporting the incident to their superiors. The vehicle has not yet been recovered. Following their investigation, the three officers were released under conditions that included a 15-day restriction from police facilities.
