Deputy Commissioner Manny Binyamin, head of the Israel Police's major crime unit, is under investigation for allegedly attempting to promote a relative to a senior position within his department. Binyamin was previously detained and questioned over suspicions of interfering in an investigation involving a businessman with whom he had close ties. Following a second interrogation, he went on temporary leave, and investigators have since collected testimony from other senior officers, though none are currently suspects. Despite support from some high-ranking officials, Binyamin's chances of returning to his post appear slim as the probe continues. His lawyer maintains that Binyamin has fully cooperated and denies any wrongdoing.
