Court extends remand for deputy Jerusalem mayor
The Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court extends the remand for Jerusalem’s deputy mayor Meir Turgeman for another 5 days.
Turgeman (Likud) was arrested earlier this week along with five others on allegations of bribery, fraud, breach of trust, abuse of power and various tax offenses.
Officials say Turgeman, who serves as chairman of the capital’s Planning and Building Committee, is suspected of accepting money in exchange for illegally advancing various interests.
