Kreuzer Filed a Complaint with the Police Internal Investigations Department Following an Encounter with Two Police Officers

MK Yitzhak Kreuzer contacted the Police Internal Investigations Department—Mahash—11 days after an encounter with two police officers. Police suspect him and the director-general of the Otzma Yehudit party of involvement in assaulting two police officers, while Kreuzer claims that disproportionate force was used against him.

Key facts

  • •MK Yitzhak Kreuzer filed the complaint
  • •The complaint was filed with Mahash
  • •The complaint was filed 11 days after the incident
  • •Police suspect two representatives of Otzma Yehudit
  • •The source did not report that a judicial decision had been issued

Two Accounts of the Incident

The case centers on an encounter with two police officers involving MK Yitzhak Kreuzer and the director-general of the Otzma Yehudit party. According to the police account, the two may have been involved in assaulting two police officers. Kreuzer, however, accuses the officers of using excessive force.

The Complaint to Mahash

Kreuzer filed a complaint with Mahash 11 days after the incident. The department investigates suspicions that police officers have committed offenses. The materials provided do not include the substance of the complaint, the officers’ names, or details of possible evidence.

No Decision Has Yet Been Made

The source does not report that Mahash reached any conclusions, that an indictment was filed, or that a court issued a decision. Nor does it mention a case number, a specific statutory provision, or the procedural status of each person involved. The mere filing of the complaint proves neither Kreuzer’s account nor the police suspicions.

What this means for you

The complaint filed with Mahash allows the conduct of the police officers to be examined separately from the suspicions against those involved in the encounter. For an ordinary person, this means that the allegations of excessive force and the police suspicions may be examined in parallel, but conclusions can be reached only after the investigation and subsequent procedural decisions.
