2015-07-19 Suicide of commander Efraim Bracha and "collapse" of the Israel Police
Head of the National Fraud Investigations Unit Efraim Bracha committed suicide after a small online news outlet published a series of reports, pointing out evidence of his corruption and indicating that an undercover investigation was under way. The most dramatic in a large series of senior Israel Police commanders departures under clouds of corruption, it was described by media as "collapse" of the Israel Police. As is the case in other nations, the United States included, widespread police corruption is impossible absent corruption of the justice system in general and the judiciary in particular.
