Kalmenzon Files for Injunction Against Enforcement of Guarantees in Tiberias, Salaries Not Paid

In depth

The court issued an injunction halting the enforcement of NIS 1.3 million in guarantees of the Tiberias football club until a hearing scheduled for November 23. Following the order, payment of salaries to players and staff is delayed. The request for the injunction was filed by Arie Kalmenzon, owner of Tiberias municipality.

Kalmenzon said the court did not suspend the proceedings, but stopped what he described as an improper grab. He demanded to know where the club's millions of shekels went within a month, and attacked the trustee, Attorney Liza Hadash, saying the attempt was to divert attention from the trustee's failed management.

Attorney Liza Hadash said that the club cannot be thrown out and then required to continue financing cars. A tow truck is expected to arrive to collect the club's cars. Kalmenzon promised that answers would be demanded in court and that the full truth would be exposed.
