Stein had been considered one of the chief candidates for the position of Police Commissioner, to replace Yohanan Danino.Ronel Fisher, a well-known Israeli lawyer, is at the heart of a new scandal involving police figures and the Ashdod port union chief. Fisher is suspected of asking Ashdod port workers’ union head Alon Hassan for money, which would be paid to certain police officials to keep Hassan from being prosecuted in connection to a number of ongoing investigations.Fisher allegedly told Hassan of impending investigations against Hassan — an obstruction of justice, if proved — and then asked police officials for information about plans to arrest Hassan. Officials in the Justice Ministry’s department for the investigation of police officers, which put Fisher under surveillance, suspect that police officials provided the lawyer with the information he requested.Hassan, in cooperation with the investigation department, gave $150,000 to Fisher, in exchange for the lawyer’s promise to see to it that the investigations against Hassan were halted.Fisher was arrested immediately. He did not allow police to search his bag or his car, claiming attorney-client privilege. Fisher said the cash from Hassan was payment for services rendered. Officials in the investigation department say they have recordings of conversations between Hassan and Fisher during which the lawyer said, “If this gets out, we’ll both go to jail.”Hassan and figures in his circle went to the investigation department because they feared that either Fisher or certain police officials planned to frame him. Representatives of the police investigation department say that while no police suspects have been arrested, that could change. (Haaretz) http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/.premium-1.615105
