The detention of Kfar Saba Mayor Rafi Sa'ar and his wife, Meital Sa'ar, has been extended until this Thursday, as they are central figures in what police describe as a wide-ranging corruption case. Investigators from Lahav 433 raided the Kfar Saba municipality a week prior. The extensions were agreed upon by the police and the couple's legal representatives.
Last weekend, the CEO of the Economic Company, the municipality's contractor, and the head of the Parks and Landscape Department were released to house arrest. New details emerging from the extended detentions reveal suspicions involving projects at schools, committees allegedly cleared of professional members, and the exchange of "money-equivalent bribes."
