Controversy

In September 2016, Feirberg was arrested on suspicion of bribery, fraud and abuse of power in connection with alleged municipal corruption.[3][4] by Lahav 433.[5] In June 2019, the investigation against Feirberg was closed, after State Prosecutor Shai Nitzan and other officials found a lack of evidence against her.[6][7] Prosecutors continued to pursue charges against Netanya Deputy Mayor Shimon Sher.[6]
