Police believe they have documents and evidence establishing suspicion that Kfar Saba Mayor Rafi Sa'ar was aware of moves allegedly promoted by his wife Mital in front of businessmen and contractors, and even acted to advance them as part of his role. The suspicions contradict Sa'ar's version, according to which his wife manages an independent business activity and he does not intervene in her affairs. Mital Sa'ar, for her part, distances her husband from the suspicions in her investigation. Investigators are examining suspicion that the couple prepared for the investigation in advance and coordinated versions. One of the documents being examined is an alleged loan agreement worth 2.5 million shekels. After a marathon of interrogations today, police will decide whether to request an extension of their detention or release them under restrictive conditions. The two businessmen involved, Eitan Sapir and Efrayim Kahlon, are expected to be released to house arrest.
