How the Police Complaints Unit Will Operate Outside the State Prosecutor’s Office

What happened

The Knesset approved a law transferring the Police Internal Investigations Department from the State Attorney’s Office to the justice minister, in a move critics say will politicize police oversight. The law changes the department’s structure, appointments, and powers, and opponents warn it will weaken corruption investigations and lead to petitions to the High Court of Justice.
