Hapoel Tiberias, a soccer club facing allegations of serious financial offenses, has returned to training following the unfreezing of its bank accounts. The club's accounts were frozen due to an investigation into financial misconduct involving Arie Kalmanzon, Miki Beitan, Eliran Hodada, and Yael Bar, who were arrested. The police decision to unfreeze the accounts allows the club to resume normal operations and pay salaries to players and staff.
Mayor of Tiberias, Yossi Nabeh, visited the team during their morning practice, addressing the players in the locker room. He assured them of the club's financial stability, stating that the budget is closed and accounted for, and that the club's trustee, Liza Chadash, is managing it effectively. Nabeh emphasized the importance of the team representing the city and urged the players to focus on their performance on the field, promising to provide financial and industrial stability.
The mayor stressed a complete separation between the ongoing police investigation and the team's operations. He credited the trustee, appointed by court order several weeks ago, with preventing the club's collapse and ensuring its continued functioning, including payments and budget management. Nabeh also mentioned cooperation with the Football Association, which he said is willing to assist.
Nabeh anticipates the police investigation will conclude within the next week or two, aiming to bring an end to the surrounding turmoil. Hapoel Tiberias issued a statement affirming its commitment to moving forward with determination and confidence, respecting law enforcement's work while focusing on daily operations and securing the club's future. The club stated that dramatic headlines do not reflect the full picture and will not distract them from their primary mission.
