The mother of Mital Saar, wife of Kfar Saba Mayor Rafi Saar, has been unexpectedly released from custody under restrictive conditions. Her lawyer, Gadi Afriat, successfully argued for her early release, citing evidence that approximately 150,000 shekels seized from her originated from National Insurance Institute compensation for being recognized as a victim of hostilities. She reportedly received this compensation after being injured while heading to a safe room during the recent war with Iran. Afriat stated that the remaining funds were savings from her years of domestic work. The woman was detained for two days at Abu Kabir prison, where she was interrogated again. Afriat described her experience as extremely difficult, detailing harsh conditions and her exhaustion. He emphasized that her familial connection to Mital Saar does not imply her involvement in the corruption investigation. He expressed hope that her early release signifies the end of her involvement in the inquiry. The investigation into corruption in the Kfar city municipality also led to the arrest of Mayor Rafi Saar and his wife, Mital Saar.
