  • Ironi Tiberias soccer club's hearing is postponed to October 29 due to criminal probe.
  • Owner Arie Kalmanzon and three others arrested in "Mirror Image" case.
  • Suspicions involve financial offenses and double contracts worth millions of shekels.
  • Detention of Kalmanzon and others extended until Thursday.
  • Investigator Dean Perger's testimony is now expected on the new hearing date.

A disciplinary hearing for the soccer club Ironi Tiberias, originally scheduled for tomorrow at the Israel Football Association's court, is expected to be postponed until the end of October. The delay is due to ongoing criminal developments and arrests in the "Mirror Image" case, which involves alleged financial offenses and double contracts totaling millions of shekels. The hearing was set to include testimony from investigator Dean Perger, but will now likely take place on October 29. It is anticipated that the detained individuals from Tiberias, led by owner Arie Kalmanzon, will be released from custody by then.

Kalmanzon, along with former partner Miki Beitan, former coach Eliran Hodada, and finance manager Yael Bar, were arrested as part of the investigation by the Israel Police's Lahav 433 unit. Police searched the homes of the detainees and requested a week-long extension of their arrest, citing fears of evidence tampering. The Rishon LeZion Magistrate's Court partially granted the police's request, extending their detention until this coming Thursday.
