Jerusalem, 9 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) has asked police to launch a criminal investigation into Wolt and its Israeli CEO, Tomer Cohen, alleging violations of traffic laws and regulations.
In a formal complaint to Police Traffic Division chief Chaim Shmueli, the authority also called for immediate enforcement measures and consideration of seeking a court order to suspend the company’s operations.
The complaint, signed by NRSA Council Chairman (ret.) Brig. Gen. Moti Adraei, accuses Wolt of failing to appoint a required road safety officer despite repeated demands and allowing dangerous traffic violations by its couriers.
The company reported in October that approximately 20,000 couriers work through its platform. The authority says it has license plate details for 214 vehicles linked to reported safety incidents involving Wolt deliveries.
