Who had access to the mayor’s office? Bnei Brak probes possible bugging
The city brought in a company that detects surveillance equipment after officials received information and noticed signs they considered suspicious
Bnei Brak municipal officials are reviewing security footage and office access records after a specialist inspection raised concerns that someone may have placed listening devices in Mayor Hanoch Zeibert’s office.
No devices were found during the inspection, and the municipality has not established that surveillance took place.
The city brought in a company that detects surveillance equipment after officials received information and noticed signs they considered suspicious. According to local reporting, the inspection suggested that devices might previously have been present and removed before the search. That possibility remains under investigation.
Officials are now checking who entered the mayor’s office during the relevant period. They are also examining the possible use of an access badge previously linked to a senior municipal official. Investigators have not identified who used the badge or who might have been responsible for any alleged surveillance. No motive is known.
