A police officer from the Southern District is being investigated on suspicion of transferring information from police systems to unauthorized parties and criminals. The investigation, opened last month by the Police Investigation Department (Mahash), began after suspicions arose that the officer extracted data from police systems for a resident of Bedouin communities in the Negev. Additional testimonies gathered during the investigation have raised suspicions of the officer's involvement in other incidents, suggesting the case may involve more than a single event. The officer faces multiple charges, including fraud, breach of trust, and obstruction of justice. The police stated that the officer has been placed on mandatory leave while the case is reviewed administratively. The officer's lawyer, Odeh Abu Jame, stated that his client fully cooperated with the investigation, categorically denied all suspicions, and asserted that no objective evidence was presented against her. He added that she maintains her innocence and they will determine their next steps based on developments.
