After Coastal Marine Police Commander Deputy Commissioner Yoni Hajaj made sharp remarks against lawyers, the police announced that 'the matter has been referred for review by the Coastal District Commander.' During a podcast interview, Hajaj provided unusual and unprecedented statements for a senior officer: 'You are several levels above shit,' he told interviewer attorney Rotem Tovol regarding defense attorneys. 'You are liars, you would sell your own mother. Everyone deserves the best representation in the world, but you will obstruct an investigation, lie, deceive, steal, do whatever it takes for your client.' Hajaj even claimed during the interview that he would 'fold in four 30% to 50%' of the lawyers, 'paint them blue and throw them into the sea.'
