A senior police source has raised concerns about a potential conflict of interest among investigators in the ongoing probe into alleged election bribery and foreign interference in the 26th Knesset elections. The source, speaking to Mylan Amar on Channel 14, stated that Yoav Seglovich, described as "number 2 in Ra'am," was the direct commander of the current heads of the National Fraud Unit (יאח"ה), the National Crimes Unit (יאבל"כ), and the Investigations Division within the police.
According to the source, the Police Commissioner must intervene to ensure the investigation proceeds without any apprehension of conflict of interest. "The Police Commissioner needs to remove the investigation from them and transfer it entirely to an independent body or demand a declaration of conflict of interest. This is a serious organizational failure that is not fully transparent to the public," the source warned.
These allegations surface as the police and Shin Bet investigate suspicions of tampering with election integrity. As of now, no evidence has been presented to suggest that the alleged command relationships have influenced the investigation. The report was made by Mylan Amar on Channel 14.
