Avri Cohen, the Head of Security at the Ministry of Transport, worked a second paid job concurrently with his government position without the required approval, contrary to his claims. Haaretz revealed on Tuesday that Cohen also served intermittently as a security manager abroad for Israeli airlines. Cohen had asserted that he received approval for this additional work in 2018. However, the Ministry of Transport learned of the situation through an anonymous complaint several months ago but had not initiated disciplinary proceedings against him. Investigations revealed that no such approval was ever granted.
