Four people were arrested by police in Modi’in Illit during the night including the head of a kollel and a member of the city council.

During the night, the eve of 4 Adar-II (Sunday to Monday), police arrested four people in the chareidi city including a city councilman, head of a NGO and a secretary whom are reportedly close to Mayor Yaakov Gutterman as well as the head of a kollel as part of an ongoing undercover investigation into white collar crimes. The four will be interrogated by the 433 Yahalom Unit’s Economic Crimes Division.

It appears the investigation does connect to a nonprofit headed by the councilman taken into custody. Police are not releasing any information about the case or the four arrests.
