- Transport Ministry security chief Avri Cohen lacked approval for a second job.
- Cohen claimed he received authorization in 2018, but none exists.
- The ministry learned of the issue months ago via a complaint.
- No disciplinary proceedings have yet been opened against Cohen.
Avri Cohen, the Head of Security at the Ministry of Transport, worked a second, paid job concurrently with his ministry role without the required authorization, contrary to his claims. Haaretz revealed on Tuesday that Cohen had also served intermittently as a security manager abroad for Israeli airlines. Cohen had stated he received approval for this additional work in 2018, but the Ministry of Transport has no record of such authorization ever being granted.
The Ministry of Transport became aware of the situation several months ago through an anonymous complaint. However, the ministry has not yet initiated disciplinary proceedings against Cohen.
