Police arrest six employees of a corporation owned by the Tel Aviv municipality on suspicion of bribery, aggravated fraud and money laundering.

Four others were also detained for questioning in relation to the case, says a law enforcement spokesman, adding that the arrests came after weeks of covert investigation.

Investigators believe that the prime suspect maintained “corrupt relationships” with the corporation’s contractors, suppliers and franchisees. He is thought to have promoted their business interests in exchange for bribes.

Police interrogated the suspects at the Lahav 433 headquarters and will bring them before the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court today to request an extension of their remand.
