Assistant-Chief Moti Cohen will take over as commander of the Central District of the Israel Police, it was announced Monday, less than a month after the former commander resigned amid a highly-publicized scandal.
Cohen replaces Asst.- Ch. Bruno Stein, who resigned in September following a
Haaretz article claiming he was seen at a private party at the home of attorney Ronel Fisher, currently under investigation for bribing police officials to drop charges against him.
