Advocate Eyal Abulafia, representing S., said: "In light of the criminal conduct of police officers Shai Portal and Mazal Ohayon, and no less, that of the police discipline department and DIP, the state has now refrained from conducting the case in court and has agreed to compensate my client. In compensation that well expresses the seriousness of the police officers' actions, but especially the seriousness of DIP's conduct and the police who responded to the policewoman who disrupted court proceedings and came out with nothing, as the harsh criticism leveled by the High Court in the country. The attorney is well versed in the issue in order to prevent DIP and the police from dragging their feet in advance, and to exhaust his rights. "

"Punishments Ensure Good Behavior"

The Israel Police stated: "Shai Portal is a former police officer who, due to the incident that occurred years ago and was investigated by DIP, was fired from the police as early as 2017. As for the policewoman, after a hearing was held to consider dismissal and given her relative share in the incident, it was decided to take administrative measures

Along with the aforesaid, this is an old and unusual event that does not represent the rule, and as part of a procedure recently conducted in court, it was decided to pay compensation by consent as part of a compromise arrangement. "

DIP said today: "The Supreme Court accepted the state's position and in May last year rejected a petition filed against the decision not to prosecute Mazal Ohayon.

The verdict stated that the police have broad discretion as to the proper course of response and that the administrative procedure and punishments imposed on Ohayon are not easy even considering the punishments that might have been imposed on it in a disciplinary proceeding.

The ruling also stated that 'there are administrative measures taken against Ohayon in the administrative procedure, we were alerted by the head of the Human Resources Division of the Israel Police, combined with the educational punishment, to teach Ohayon about the seriousness of her actions and deter her from repeating them later in her service.

In doing so, these punishments fulfill the purpose of the disciplinary law to ensure an adequate level of conduct. "

DIP further clarified that" the department considers cases of false or false reporting by police officers to be serious, has drawn the necessary lessons from this case, and has done staff work accordingly. A strict procedure has been issued regarding the handling of cases of suspicion of false reporting by police officers. "
