Tel al-Saba Council Director Released Under Conditions Amid Bribery Probe
The Director-General of the Tel al-Saba Local Council, who was arrested on suspicion of bribery and bid-rigging, has been released under restrictive conditions. He was apprehended along with the council head and other senior officials as part of an investigation by Lahav 433, Israel's national fraud investigation unit. Police had sought to extend his detention for a third time, but the court ordered his release. The conditions include house arrest, a travel ban, and a 30-day suspension from his duties.
The director's lawyer stated that his client denies all allegations and views the court's decision as validation of his position. The investigation is ongoing, focusing on alleged offenses related to bribery, manipulation of tenders, and fraud.
