 A 69-year-old woman was fatally struck just outside her Brooklyn home by a Mercedes driver making an illegal U-turn, cops said Wednesday.

Bella Wolman was crossing Avenue M in the marked crosswalk at E. 12th St. in Midwood when she was struck by a 2020 Mercedes Benz S 540 about 5:20 p.m. Tuesday, cops said.

Yaakov Edri, mayor of the city of Or Akiva & former govt minister, is suspected of rape & other serious offenses, a court cleared for publication today.

Edri was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of corruption offenses, including bribery, fraud & breach of trust.

There'd been a gag order on publication of Edri's violent sex crimes vs females in the mayor’s office, including rape. The gag expired today after police didn't request renewal, to encourage additional women to come forward.

The mayor denies all allegations against him.

Edri is former MK for Likud & Kadima, in the Knesset 2003-2013. He was also minister of health, immigration & for development of the periphery, Negev & Galilee.

After extending his remand 4x since his arrest, the court put Edri in 10 day house arrest.

In light of the allegations, Or Akiva announced it's selecting an interim mayor.

Edri’s arrest was part of a broad police corruption probe into Or Akiva. Dozens of suspects are detained. Edri & others are suspected of promoting tenders & permits for benefits.

Police suspect Orly Yehezkel, Edri’s right-hand in the municipality, brokered bribes on the mayor’s behalf.

The investigation indicates VOUCHERS FOR THE NEEDY were transferred to mayoral cronies to purchase expensive clothes & other luxuries.

Yehezkel is also suspected of conspiracy to commit a crime, fraud, forgery, theft, money laundering & income tax offenses.

She was pressured by police to turn state’s witness vs Edri.

Edri’s defense team asserts the allegations are unfounded & sex assault claims were made to smear the mayor’s reputation.
