This is not the first time that a cargo has been discovered in a place related to it.
In 2021, a charger was found near his car when he was abroad.
Lahiani is running for the presidency of the Bat Yam city council in the upcoming elections after serving time in prison following a conviction for breach of trust and defamation.
In an interview with Israel Hayom, he said, "I made a mistake, I paid a price, and now I am returning to my duty - to lead my city for the sake of the residents. Recently, horrible lies have been spread about me, such as that I took public money into my private pockets. In the war for power and the seat, apparently there are no rules and values. I decided not to To be silent and also to sue the slanderers. I made a revolution in Bat Yam during my tenure, and I am returning to complete it."
