Siblings Arrested, Released on Bail in $15 Million Fictitious Invoice Scheme

A Rishon LeZion Magistrate's Court ordered the conditional release of David Dustan, who was arrested as part of an investigation by the Israel Tax Authority. Dustan is suspected of heading a network of shell companies established solely to produce, distribute, and offset fictitious invoices, enabling various companies to evade legitimate tax payments. His sister, Rinat Lahav, was also arrested in connection with the case and released under similar conditions. She is accused of being part of the criminal network and assisting her brother in distributing the fake invoices through companies registered in her name. According to the Tax Authority, the total scope of the shell company network's activity amounts to approximately 55 million shekels (about $15 million USD). Investigation into the matter is ongoing.
