Miki Beitan, a senior official from the Hapoel Tiberias soccer club, was released to house arrest on Thursday as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged financial offenses and double contracts totaling millions of shekels. The release was approved by the Rishon LeZion Magistrate's Court, with Judge Menachem Mizrahi presiding.
Beitan, along with other club officials Arie Kalmanzon, Eliran Hodada, and Yael Bar, appeared in court for an extension of their detention. A police representative, Mari Peretz Boganim, stated that evidence has strengthened the suspicions against the individuals. However, due to the investigation's progress, the concern of evidence tampering has decreased, leading the police to agree to house arrest.
Beitan's lawyer, Rais Abu Saif, consented to the house arrest but requested it be limited to seven days. The judge granted the request, setting Beitan's house arrest until November 1. He was also required to provide guarantors who signed a bond of 35,000 shekels.
Notably, with the agreement of the police and the judge, Beitan received permission to leave house arrest briefly on election day, between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM, to cast his vote. The investigation, being conducted by Lahav 433, involves suspicions of financial crimes and double contracts, which led police to raid the homes of the club officials recently, resulting in their arrests.
