Police recommend trying Jerusalem deputy mayor for bribery, fraud
Police announce there is sufficient evidence to try Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Meir Turgeman and others for bribery, fraud, breach of trust and theft.
“Based on the investigation and evidence gathered, it is suspected that Turgeman received valuable favors in exchange for advancing others’ benefit,” police say.
The case will be transferred in the coming days to prosecutors, who will decide whether to indict Turgeman and the other suspects.
Police do not provide the names of the other suspects.
