Authorities have arrested an individual suspected of engaging in extensive digital currency trading valued at tens of millions of dollars without reporting it to the tax authorities. The investigation, led by the Haifa Tax Authority Investigations Officer and the Coastal Lahav 433 unit, alleges the suspect conducted significant trading on various digital currency exchanges, failing to declare income and evading taxes. Investigators also found that the suspect maintained undeclared foreign bank accounts and used another person's account to conceal the activity and accumulated funds. During police searches, substantial amounts of foreign currency and a luxury vehicle, allegedly registered to a third party to hide the suspect's assets, were seized. The suspect appeared before the Haifa Magistrate's Court, which extended their detention until Sunday at the request of the police and tax authority. The investigation is ongoing to identify potential additional involvement and uncover further hidden assets.
