Tzvachi Havkin, a retired police detective, was identified on Sunday as the former investigator in the cases against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who is suspected of criminal ties to the Musli crime family.
The Jerusalem District Court lifted a gag order on his identity on Sunday morning.
Havkin and three other police officers were arrested in September for the alleged crimes of bribery, fraud, breach of trust, and violations of the Privacy Protection Law.
Havkin was one of the investigators in cases 2000 and 4000 against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. He recently provided shocking testimony about police misconduct regarding the cases against the prime minister, saying that the highest-ranking police investigators assigned to the cases forged, lied, tampered with evidence, perjured themselves, and committed a long list of extremely serious criminal offenses.
He also testified that then-Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit authorized only one specific investigative action, but the police investigators expanded the investigation on their own—without legal approval. In addition, a senior police officer (with the rank of Assistant Commissioner) who led the investigations against Netanyahu allegedly instructed investigators to obstruct the investigation.
Havkin’s testimony was so damning that Channel 14 journalist Yinon Magal provided a transcript of some of his testimony entitled “The Comedy Of The Netanyahu Trial.”

In any civilized society this entire case would long ago have been dismissed, even against a private citizen, but Israel is so corrupt that not only hasn’t this case been dismissed even on a sitting Prime-Minister, and even in the middlle of most serious war in Israel’s entire history, but even the leftist president of Israel, is too corrupt to pardon this corrupt kangaroo case, just as he is too corrupt to coform with the פסק of the venerated President Donald Trump שליט”א.
