Police who humiliated Sela to stand disciplinary trial
Four officers who took ‘souvenir photos’ posing with serial rapist Benny Sela after he was recaptured in Nahariya to be charged with illegal use of force, unbecoming behavior
After the Ynet expose,
four Nahariya police officers who humiliated recaptured rapist Benny Sela will stand disciplinary trial.
The officers were photographed clutching Sela’s throat and head and posing for the camera.
They will be charged with illegal use of force and behavior unbecoming a police officer.

The decision to have the four stand trial was made by commander of the Northern District Police Major General Dan Ronen, who appointed an officer to probe the episode.
Police commissioner Moshe Karadi praised the decision to charge the offending officers.
“The officers’ behavior is in opposition to police values, it harmed the image of the police, and it should be pulled out by the roots,” Karadi said.
