The police also recommended that Dadon’s contractor Gabi Magnezi, and the council’s legal advisor, along with others, be indicted for bribery.
Included in the list of alleged crimes attributed to Danon, in addition to those already mentioned, are attempted rape, sexual harassment and forbidden sexual relations.
“This is a wide-ranging investigative case, branching off to several different incidents involving holders of other senior positions in the council, mostly its legal advisor,” the police statement read.
“Foundational evidence has been compiled indicating that similar crimes were carried out by his brother, Avi Dadon, and the contractor Gabi Magnezi.”
The latter is suspected of giving bribes, falsifying corporate documents and fraud.
The matter has been handed over to the Attorney’s Office which will determine whether indictments will be issued.
