Eleven individuals, including former senior officials from Israel's Tax Authority, have been investigated on suspicion of bribery, fraud, and money laundering. The investigation, conducted by the National Fraud Investigation Unit (YAH'A) of Lahav 433 in cooperation with the Central Tax Investigations Unit, uncovered evidence suggesting a former deputy tax supervisor and a former senior coordinator allegedly received bribes over several years from an accountant representing taxpayers.
These two former officials are suspected of orchestrating a large-scale fraud against state authorities, defrauding the state of over 80 million shekels (approximately $22 million). The investigation, which included covert and overt stages, has now concluded.
The case file, accompanied by the Tax and Economic Prosecution Department from its inception, has been transferred to the prosecution for review and decision, along with the investigating unit's recommendations.
