Mother-in-law of Kfar Saba mayor's version on the seized cash: "She saves every shekel, she has no teeth"
The mother of the wife of the Kfar Saba mayor, arrested on suspicion of corruption, claims through her attorney that most of the money seized at her home came from compensation of about 150,000 shekels as a victim of hostile acts. The attorney describes her as a hard-luck woman who has been saving for 20 years, and argues that her arrest was meant to pressure her daughter and son-in-law.
The corruption affair at the Kfar Saba municipality: the mother of the wife of Mayor Rafi Sa'ar was arrested on suspicion of holding funds of unknown origin. Through her attorney, Adv. Afriat, she claims that most of the money seized at her home — about 150,000 shekels — came from compensation she received from the state as a victim of hostile acts about three months ago. According to him, the money was deposited in her account and withdrawn in cash. The rest of the funds, he claims, are personal savings from housework jobs accumulated over 20 years. The attorney describes her as an elderly, hard-luck woman, "without teeth, living hand to mouth," and stresses that her arrest was meant to pressure her daughter and son-in-law, who are also arrested in the affair. He rejects claims of obstruction of proceedings, since all those involved are in custody. The court extended her detention by three days.
