Detectives on Monday morning 3 Nissan and detained two persons for questioning from Safsufa, a moshav in northern Israel, known by some as Kfar Choshen.

The couple detained for questioning allegedly sold a plot of land to the Deri family. This pertains to a villa which is registered in the name of a daughter and son-of-law of Minister Aryeh Deri.

According to the Ynet report, the two were detained for questioning since the sales contract is not signed by the original owners, and a portion of the money, NIS 500 million in cash, was not reported.

The couple maintains that despite the fact their name appears on the contract, they have nothing to do with the sale. It is added that a Deri family vacation home in Safsufa is valued at NIS 4 million.
