Last update - 15:09 17/09/2006 Police chief grilled again over suspected cop-gangland ties By Yuval Yoaz, Haaertz Correspondent

Police Commissioner Moshe Karadi began testifying Sunday for the second time before the Zeiler Committee, which is investigating the bungled handling by the police and prosecution of a murder-for-hire case involving suspected crime bosses the Parinyan brothers, and police officer Tzahi Ben-Or.

Karadi first testified before the committee in May. In four hours of open-court testimony and an additional hour in camera at the time, Karadi tried to defend his decision, as then-head of the police's Southern District, to appoint Commander Yoram Levy to head the district's Central Unit. Levy has been accused by colleagues of hampering the investigation and of improper ties to suspected crime bosses the Parinyan brothers.

This is not the first Chief of Police in Israel that has had ties to the mob, how did Israel handle the other Chief of Police that had the mob pay for his daughters at Mitzvah. They forced him to retire from the police and made him head of the Electric company with a big salary raise.
