Miki Beitan, the mayor of Tiberias, has been released to house arrest 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 on Thursday, with Judge Menachem Mizrahi presiding. Beitan, along with other suspects Arie Kalmanzon, Eliran Hodada, and Yael Bar, appeared in court for an extension of their detention.
The police representative, Mari Peretz Boganim, stated that evidentiary strengthening has occurred, solidifying the suspicions against the individuals. Due to the investigation's progress, the concern of obstructing justice has decreased, leading the police to request a transition to house arrest. Beitan's lawyer, Rais Abu Saif, agreed to the house arrest but requested it be limited to seven days.
Judge Mizrahi granted the request, placing Beitan under house arrest until November 1. He also posted a 35,000 shekel bond, along with guarantors approved by the police. Notably, with the agreement of the police and the judge, Beitan received permission to leave house arrest briefly on election day, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, to cast his vote.
The investigation, being conducted by Lahav 433, Israel Police's Major Crimes Unit, focuses on suspicions of financial crimes and double contracts. Police recently raided the homes of the club officials, which led to their arrests.
