Haim Tzuri's lawyers dropped a bomb at the hearing of his case ► Live broadcast from the court in Haifa 26/9/23

(haipo) - A bomb was thrown in court at Haim Tzuri's hearing - the judge issued a gag order
In the long hearing that took place today in the District Court in Haifa on the request to cancel the indictment against the Mayor of Kiryat Motzkin Haim Tzuri, evidence was presented by his attorney and serious allegations were made about the conduct of the prosecutor's office.

That's why the Honorable Judge Gil Kerzboom decided impose a gag order on the case. Those present at the hearing, some of whom were shocked by the evidence brought by Tzuri's lawyers, were also asked not to publish the things that came up in today's hearing. Therefore, the article will not include details about the discussion itself.

Haim Tzuri told Lahi Fa at the end of the debate: "I have been mayor for 30 years and I am approaching 80 years old. I built a city to glory and when the prosecutor's office accuses me of bribery for hiring a work assistant - it disappoints me, it shames me and what we heard in today's debate simply blows me away."

The request for the immediate cancellation of the indictment against Haim Tzuri

On behalf of the Mayor of Kiryat Motzkin Haim Tzuri, lawyers Tami Ullman and Yuval Zemer requested today (Tuesday 26/9/23) at the Haifa District Court to cancel the indictment filed against Tzuri.

As I recall, last June Tzuri was suspended from his position as mayor of Kiryat Motzkin after an indictment was filed against him for accepting bribes, fraud and breach of trust, fraudulently obtaining anything, obstructing legal proceedings and more.

A long hearing was held today in the District Court in Haifa, presided over by Judge Gil Kerzboom, in the case against Haim Tzuri, Mayor of Motzkin, who was suspended from his position a few months before the local government elections.

Tzuri is one of the oldest mayors in Israel and has been in office for 30 years. However, as mentioned, last June he was suspended from his post after the government committee for examining the suspension of heads of authorities in Israel granted the request of the legal advisor to the government, Gali Beharev-Miara, which was submitted after Tzuri was accused of bribery, fraud and breach of trust and fraudulently receiving anything.

  1. You have been active for decades, and managed to acquire an appreciation. I do not express an opinion on the legal issue, I am not familiar with it. I wish you success in the trial.

    But for many years you promised to vacate the building in Yoseftal, you appeared in the media and proudly described what you were planning, you held meetings with apartment owners, and to this day it has not happened.

    They are talking about your part in blocking the approval, and that you led the municipality to resistance. This is a segment that will not choose you this year. And not only them. Also in other streets that hope for urban renewal in the future, their families and acquaintances. Seen and expected not to choose. The expectation is that the mayor will find solutions to transportation difficulties and the like and run the project, otherwise houses will collapse and residents will be trapped under the rubble.

  2. Looks like an article commissioned by the mayor and his defense team - a blown headline with nothing inside..

  3. I hope Haifa will have a mayor like Chaim Tzuri. I wish Chaim Tzuri to get out of his predicament.

  4. If anyone wants to see what blind admiration is, look in the comments.
    And no, no one should be in the same public position for 30 years, this is an opening to corruption, harms the building of a young and future leadership and harms the effective and professional replacement of the government after his departure.
    Dinosaurs should be deposited in a museum.

  5. They dropped a bomb, what is a bomb, why come out with such a headline, and not say what the bomb is, and if you are not allowed to say what the bomb is, then why come out with this explosive headline

  6. Dear Haim Leaf and success. A good and blessed signature to you

  7. I have been a resident of Kiryat Mantzkin for 46 years, and I am familiar with service in the reserves
    He was always a man of action, less talk and chatter and more action and performance, and this is what we see in our beautiful and charming city.
    Haim Yona and I stand behind you and wish you good health and another term in the future, all my brothers.

  8. Once again, Miara proves the level of her poor skills
    How many more proofs is needed to understand that this woman, Pen Schott, is ignorant, delusional, manipulative, criminal, just not legal

  9. Money is counted on the stairs, we will wait for the end and see what the ban on advertising is about.
    The mountain will give birth to a mouse.

  10. Which means there is a criminal organization and that is the prosecutor's office. And serious offenses will also be committed in Netanyahu's files

  11. Come on, since when does a court consider evidence?? Beetz was tried as an Israeli criminal, intended to convict
    With or without evidence

  12. to limit terms in public positions
    As for the prime minister, mayor and school principal
    In Costa Rica, a member of parliament serves only one term

  13. I was in the discussion. I am shocked and ashamed. Whoever is responsible must be brought to justice, including the well-known in our city.
    No discounts.
    The residents must come out and vote for Mayor Haim Tzuri in gratitude for all he has done
    and broad support so that justice is brought to light.

  14. Once again a weak and corrupt attorney's office,
    What to do?
    The reform of the system is already crying out from every direction
    Contempt of law to citizens and politicians
    how far
    It's time for reform!!!!!

  15. I am 73 years old and a resident of Kiryat Motzkin since 1965 and I have been many mayors in Kiryat.
    Since Chaim Tzuri was elected mayor, the city began to flourish, and today it is the leader in Kiryat in all respects, a sought-after city, and attracts people with a high socio-economic status.
    I wish Mr. Tzuri good health and may he have the strength to continue as the mayor of our city until he is 120 years old.

  16. Haim Tzuri, as long as your power is in your hand, serve us the residents with your excellent command

  17. The judge imposes a gag order on what??
    To defend another failure in the conduct of the prosecutor's office??
    The sunlight does not touch ayatollahs in robes.. this is the dictatorship

    • The fact that they imposed a ban on publication is wrong. This is to protect the prosecution. But if the case is weak, his lawyers will talk him out of it. And that there is no transparency and the public does not know the details badly

  18. Haim we are with you
    Be strong and embrace and much success in the elections
    Moshe Golovati

  19. Shame on the legal system headed by Gali Mahiara, only corruption like this in the Bibi trial, everything is sewn with sex and a poverty certificate

  20. Once again Gali Mahiara is embarrassing herself. Most of the accused have their cases sewn up and the judges among them are a disgrace and a disgrace to the judicial system.

  21. I wish for Zuri that his righteousness will come to light soon. Our city still needs him as mayor.

  22. One of the candidates brought an investigation into the alleged improper use of a database by Mr. Tzuri in which details of the residents of K. Motzkin It is interesting to know from which database he obtained the personal details of that candidate and called me. This is despite the fact that in the past I was registered in a government database of people who refuse to accept applications without my permission. Is this use appropriate? legal?

  23. Dear Haim, he came up and succeeded. All these accusations were well prepared. And in the end, you will be great. I had no doubt as to your honesty. You built a city to glory. No one will take away your life's work. Without a doubt, you are the next mayor of the city.
