A controversy has erupted in Kfar Saba following the arrest of Mayor Rafi Sa'ar and his wife last week on suspicion of corruption offenses, including bid rigging, money laundering, and conspiracy to commit a crime. According to a report by Roy Yanovsky on Kan 11, the mayor's wife is suspected, among other things, of allegedly forcing the management of Hapoel Kfar Saba football club to hire a player who is a relative of hers. Yanovsky reported that the couple is suspected in eight different cases under police investigation. In one of these cases, the mayor's wife is allegedly suspected of compelling the management of the National League team to sign a footballer related to her family, who was reportedly not of the appropriate level for the team. The suspicion is that the player would not have been fully employed in the end.
