Former presidential candidate Nati Meir was detained by special forces last night (Mon/Tues) after police found fake banknotes in his office.

The politician recently announced he was withdrawing from the presidential race.

Police searched his office after a complaint was made that he had lent others fake 500-Euro banknotes.

An organized crime squad found two fake banknotes in Meir’s office during their search of it.

Meir was detained on suspicion of fraud, and prosecutors asked for a warrant for his arrest. A judge will decide on that today (Tues).

Romania resident and Israeli citizen Nati Meir, who said he had inherited over two billion dollars from a relative in the USA whose identity has not been disclosed, was found guilty of numerous cases of fraud in Tel Aviv and Haifa, Israel in the 1980s and 1990s.
