Retired Israel Police Chief of Investigations & Intelligence Deputy-Commissioner Yoav Segalovich has joined Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party. The addition of a retired high-ranking police official is a welcome boom to the party. Segalovich and Lapid held a joint press conference on Sunday 21 Iyar to announce the event and to inform the public of their plan to focus on combating corruption.

Yesh Atid announces that Segalovich served in the police for 30 years during which he held a number of senior posts including head of 433-Lahav, Israel’s equivalent of the FBI which led many investigations against corruption. In fact, Segalovich is known for championing the ongoing battle against corrupt public officials during his career.
