Former head of police's top investigative unit convicted as part of plea bargain
Maj. Gen. (res.) Menashe Arbiv, the former head of the Israel Police's top investigative unit Lahav 433, was convicted Thursday of failing to perform his duty as a police officer.
Arbiv was suspected of enjoying "benefits" over the years from Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, who served a one-year sentence for bribing Arbiv's superior, Brig. Gen. Ephraim Bracha.
