Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Meir Turgeman is named as the official arrested earlier today for suspected bribery, fraud, breach of trust, abuse of power and tax offenses.
Police say Turgeman is suspected of receiving money in exchange for illegally advancing others’ interests.
He was one of four people arrested this morning. Police say they’ll be brought before a judge this afternoon at the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court for a hearing on the extension of their remand.
