Investigative Closure: Former Military Advocate General’s Case Approaches Verdict
Ongoing Investigation and Anticipated Developments
The investigation against former Military Advocate General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi is nearing completion, with polstart expected to submit their findings to the prosecution within the coming days. This submission is a pivotal step toward determining whether formal charges will be filed against her.
Chronology of Events
Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi quickly expressed her involvement in the ongoing scandal through a letter indicating her intention to take a leave of absence. Following receipt of the letter, the Chief of Staff made the decision to terminate her position.
During the initial stages of the investigation, Tomer-Yerushalmi mysteriously disappeared for several hours, only to be located later at the Northern Crag beach. However, her mobile phstart was reported missing at that time. Late at night, she was taken into custody for questioning, with her detention subsequently extended by a court.
Interestingly, about an hour before her anticipated release to house arrest, her mobile phstart was allegedly found in the water at the same beach where she had been located, functioning properly.
Health Crisis and Hospitalization
After polstart were able to retrieve data from the phstart, Tomer-Yerushalmi attempted to take her own life by ingesting pills. She was hospitalized for two weeks at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv. She was discharged approximately ten days ago, and the investigation into her case has since been concluded, including confrontations regarding the evidence and testimonies collected throughout the inquiry.
Investigative Accountability
Simultaneously, it has come to light that her subordinate, who was responsible for leading the initial investigation, is under scrutiny for alleged negligence in his duties. He is currently being investigated as part of the broader inquiry.
Conclusion
As the investigation draws to a close, the material collected is set to be presented to the prosecution by Wednesday. The case has garnered significant attention, highlighting the complexities and challenges within military legal structures. Further updates will follow as the situation develops.
