The National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) has filed a criminal complaint with the Israel Police against Wolt and its CEO in Israel, Tomer Cohen, alleging serious safety violations. The complaint reveals that approximately 20,000 couriers operate through the platform, and about 214 of the company's vehicles have been documented in safety incidents. The authority claims that Wolt has not appointed a traffic safety officer as required by law, and that the company's response to its demands was insufficient. The most unusual demand in the complaint is to consider issuing a court order to halt Wolt's operations in Israel. The NRSA is asking the police to open an investigation against the company and its CEO, and to increase enforcement against couriers who do not meet legal requirements. The letter is based on data and evidence, including reports to the 100 emergency hotline and complaints from the public and local authorities.
