Holon Chief Rabbi Avraham Yosef, son of the late Shas spiritual leader and former Israel Sephardic Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, is under investigation.

The Tel Aviv district attorney’s office informed the rabbi that he may be charged with corruption, subject to a hearing, in connection with suspicions of breach of trust and fraud.

The rabbi is suspected of discriminating against various kashrut supervision authorities that oversee processing for ‘mehadrin’ or strictly kosher meat products in Holon and Or Yehuda, in favor of the Badatz Beit Yosef, which is owned by the Yosef family.

The move would be considered abuse of his position as a chief rabbi of the city, and a conflict of interest.
