Israeli Traffic Policewoman Investigated for Obstructing Murder Inquiry in Jerusalem Airbnb Case

The Jerusalem unit of the Police Investigations Department (Mahash) questioned a traffic policewoman under caution on suspicion of obstructing justice and breaching trust during the investigation into the murder of Benyahu Razi, who was killed in an Airbnb apartment in Jerusalem. The policewoman is reportedly a relative of one of the suspects in the case. Authorities allege that shortly after the violent incident, she met with two of the suspects, who updated her about the event. She then allegedly took actions that could have hindered the investigation before any arrests were made. Despite these actions, she failed to report the information to law enforcement as required. Following the interrogation, the policewoman was released under restrictive conditions, including three days of house arrest, an eight-day ban on approaching the involved parties, and a prohibition on contacting those connected to the case.
