Idan David has announced his resignation as a director of the Sports Betting Council following a police investigation into allegations of inflating his resume. David, formerly the chairman of Derech Eretz, is suspected of fraud, breach of trust, forgery, and submitting false affidavits. The investigation by the National Fraud Unit of Lahav 433 was launched after a Channel 12 investigative report claimed David systematically exaggerated his management experience to meet the job requirements and create a false impression of senior managerial expertise. In response to the report, the police initiated their probe. Concurrently, the government is preparing to file a civil lawsuit against David. This lawsuit is expected to seek the return of approximately 300,000 shekels in allegedly illicit salary payments and compensation for damage to the company's reputation. In his resignation letter to the Chairman of the Board, Shabtai Tzur, David expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him and the opportunity to contribute to the council's activities and the advancement of sports in Israel, also acknowledging the cooperation with board members and management.
