The Legal Service plans to send a letter today to the Ministry of Interior. This letter will inform them that a criminal case for domestic violence has been filed against a mayor of an occupied Municipality.
According to current laws, the Minister of Interior will issue a notice for automatic suspension. This means the mayor’s salary will be cut to one-third until the investigation or court process is finished.
Reports say the mayor allegedly hid his public office and only declared his profession. This case involves a mayor from an Occupied Municipality. The suspension will end when the investigation is done or the court makes a decision. If he is acquitted or exonerated, the elected official can return to work for the rest of his term.
