Cop questioned on far-right rapper’s alleged abuse of ties with police

The Times of Israel reports that Officer Yoav Eliasi, known as 'The Shadow,' a far-right rapper and former leader of a civilian security team in Tel Aviv, is being investigated for allegedly using his connections with the police to shield his nightclub from legal consequences after a violent incident. The investigation was triggered by a Haaretz exposé that detailed how Eliasi allegedly coordinated with law enforcement to prevent the closure of his club following a stabbing. Eliasi, a supporter of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, was suspended from his security role and is now facing scrutiny over claims that he influenced police actions to protect his interests. The Israel Police Chief has launched an inquiry into these allegations.
