Lahav 433 chief to return to work, police say, following stormy interrogation

Deputy Commissioner Manny Binyamin, head of the police's major crimes unit, will return to his post after being interrogated for alleged corruption. Binyamin was questioned for a third time regarding suspicions of interfering in an investigation involving a businessman he knew and attempting to promote a relative. After initially refusing, he agreed to release conditions that prevent him from contacting others involved in the case. His lawyer claimed Binyamin was pressured and assaulted during the process, but investigators denied these allegations. Senior police officials have supported his return, emphasizing the unit's need for his leadership, while some lawmakers have criticized the investigation as politically motivated.
