The Magistrate's Court in Haifa this week convicted a police officer from the Zevulun station of stealing a hundred-dollar bill from a detainee.
In the verdict of the policeman, 23-year-old Ashraf Banat of Moshiach Danon, Judge Shlomo Banjo made a remark to the police that they do not have proper procedures for receiving cash from suspects or detainees.
This is after DIP and the defense team did not accede to his request to hand over any such procedure.
"The DIP head will believe in investigating these cases, to inform those concerned about the court's comment, lest a solution be found, and the matter be brought to its proper order," the judge noted. banjo.
"The veteran diaries of the Zevulun station, who testified before me, too, could not provide any reference to an orderly procedure in the matter and did not know about the reality of such a procedure. It was stated before the court that in practice, only in the case of a particularly large sum of money seized from a suspect. An orderly reception of the cash is taking place. "
According to Judge Banjo, similar cash thefts at the Zevulun station, which are allegedly being investigated in the DIP, reinforce the conclusion regarding the need to implement a procedure that ensures that cash is deposited in an orderly manner at the police coffers. From place to place and will constitute a "loophole calling for a thief."

Banat served as a police officer in the compulsory service of the patrol unit at the Zevulun Israel Police Station.
The incident in question occurred in September 2018, with the arrest of a resident of Kiryat Ata at the station.
The diary recorded the details of the detainee's belongings and the cash he had, at the time of his arrest.
Among other things, the diary documented the seizure of one hundred-dollar bill and three hundred-shekel bills, put all the items in a dedicated deposit envelope and hermetically sealed the envelope with duct tape.
The detainee was taken away to Rambam Hospital in Haifa. While waiting in the ER, went Banat sorting and approached the van opened the tape of the envelope deposit that lay there and took the hundred-dollar bill out. Then, the sticky back tape, and returned to the hospital.
Close At 06:00, at the end of the detainee's treatment, the police and the detainee returned by car to the Zevulun station. A few minutes later, Officer Banat went to the buffet at the station and asked to buy cigarettes using the hundred-dollar bill. He asked the seller to buy the bill from him. He replied that she was not interested and in light of this, Banat begged her to keep the hundred-dollar bill with her, as a guarantee, until the next day, then he would pay her for the cigarettes.
Took the bill while the detainee was waiting in the emergency room.

In her testimony at trial, the seller stated that although she refused, he insisted, left the hundred-dollar bill in her possession and left.
The whole theft thing was discovered because a few minutes later the diary came into her, she told him about the strange sequence of things and when he returned to the diary and was told that it turned out that he was missing a hundred dollar bill in the detainee's deposit, he became suspicious.
Two officers interrogated the seller and seized the hundred-dollar bill from her.
During his interrogation at DIP, Banat did not deny that he gave her the bill, but claimed that it was a foreign currency from gifts his sister received for her marriage. DIP did not believe him.
After hearing the evidence at the evidentiary stage, Judge Banjo also ruled that it was the detainee's money and he convicted the police officer of stealing the money.
He will give his sentence after the arguments for punishment have been heard.
"His version was found to be dubious to say the least, shaky and saturated with crunch," the judge ruled.
Banat "lied about the presence of the dollars in his car, tried to mislead investigators and lead them to a place where his car was not at all, when they got to the car, did himself search for the dollars and found nothing. These lies when joining incriminating behavior obscure the ability to accept his version as credible."
Police: "Abnormal conduct, the case was handled severely"
The Israel Police stated: "This is an unusual conduct of a former police officer who was currently serving in compulsory (regular) service that occurred in 2018. The case was handled very severely and quickly by the station command, because as soon as it was discovered, a report was sent through the commanders to DIP. Ended his service in the police.
It should be noted that the issue of handling deposits is regulated and includes an orderly procedure of receiving and returning deposits, and this exceptional case does not represent the rule. "
