Or Akiva Mayor and former Minister Yaakov Edri is suspected of rape

Posted on Nov 25, 2020 by Ifi Reporter - Dan Bielski

Developments in the investigation into the corruption case in which Or Akiva Mayor and former Minister Yaakov Edri and his partner Yehezkel created a mechanism in which various businessmen and contractors with business interests in Or Akiva transferred benefits, including for example alleged purchase slips for the needy, to Ezekiel - for the personal use of Edri and Ezekiel. This is in exchange for advancing their business interests in the city.
The police have in their possession many materials that allegedly incriminate Edri in the acts attributed to him, including numerous documents, wiretaps and recordings and since the investigation broke out, the police have collected evidence that strengthened the suspicions against Edri and thickened them. One of the pieces of evidence, as stated, that came to the attention of the police is the same video.
It was permitted to publish that Edri, who is suspected of "white-collar" offenses such as taking bribes, fraud, tax evasion and money laundering, is also suspected of sexual offenses, rape, consensual sex, assault, violence and extortion. These additional offenses attributed to Edri have been added during the interrogation days since Edri's arrest on November 10.
Edri is the main suspect in a wide-ranging corruption case that includes, among other things, a suspicion of bias in tenders and benefits for contractors, which Yahoo (the Fraud Investigation Unit) at Blade 433 has been investigating for about a year, and for more than two weeks openly. Additional detainees are among the detainees, including businessmen, some from the real estate sector - contractors building in Or Akiva. In addition, figures from the municipality and the planning committees in the area were investigated. He was sent under house arrest, after a detention of more than two weeks.
