Former Knesset Member and Likud Official Suspected of Tax Evasion Worth Tens of Millions
A former Knesset member and senior Likud official is under investigation for allegedly evading taxes amounting to tens of millions of shekels. The suspect, who works as a contractor, has been undergoing bankruptcy proceedings since 2012. Alongside him, several businessmen were also detained for questioning as part of the probe.
The National Economic Crime Investigation Unit (YALAK) of Lahav 433, together with the National Unit for Bankruptcy and Economic Rehabilitation Investigations at the Ministry of Justice, led the investigation. Authorities allege that the former lawmaker concealed ownership of various real estate assets valued at tens of millions of shekels and transferred control of properties while still under bankruptcy proceedings, violating his obligation to disclose assets.
Police stated that the suspects operated in a sophisticated and systematic manner to hide their rights from authorities and illicitly amass large sums of money. Following the transition to an open investigation and the suspects’ detention, significant assets were seized for potential confiscation during the legal process.
