Kfar Saba Mayor Rafi Sa'ar will remain suspended from the municipality and his position until further notice, as reported this evening (Saturday) by i24NEWS correspondent Li Ayesh. Sa'ar was supposed to return to his position tomorrow, but police are seeking to extend his release conditions by an additional 60 days. A source in the investigation explains that there is concern that Sa'ar's return to work could delay and disrupt the investigation and affect witnesses. The investigation against Sa'ar includes between five and eight different cases. Lahav 433 investigators claim that the evidence has strengthened regarding his involvement and knowledge of funds transferred to his wife Meital, who was also arrested, and that they have evidence of obstruction of investigation on his part. Sa'ar claims in the investigation: "I didn't know anything." The investigation team has been reduced to fewer than ten investigators, and dozens of investigative actions still remain to be carried out.
