Israeli principal wanted on 74 charges of child sexual abuse in Vic allegedly spotted out and about

An Israeli principal wanted on 74 charges of child sexual abuse in Victoria has allegedly been spotted out and about at a religious festival, despite claims from her lawyers that she’s been too ill to attend two years of extradition hearings.

Prosecutors in Israel have told the ABC they are examining purported photos of Malka Leifer taken last week in a town in northern Israel.

Middle East correspondent Sophie McNeill reports from Jerusalem for the ABC PM program.
