Meital Saar, the wife of Kfar Saba Mayor Rafi Saar, is suspected of allegedly forcing the management of the Hapoel Kfar Saba football club to hire a relative who was not deemed to be at the appropriate level for the team. The report from Roey Yanovsky on Kan 11 indicates that the player may not have been fully employed in the end. This allegation is part of a broader investigation into corruption offenses, including bid rigging, money laundering, and conspiracy to commit a crime, for which both the mayor and his wife were arrested last week. The couple is reportedly suspected in eight separate cases being investigated by the police. Yanovsky added that the relative in question was allegedly not of the suitable caliber for the team.

This incident is one of several alleged offenses under investigation. The couple's arrest has caused a significant stir in Kfar Saba, highlighting concerns about potential abuses of power within the city administration.
