The State Attorney’s Office on Tuesday filed an indictment with the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court as part of a plea bargain signed with Tzipi and Bar Refaeli for tax offences.
The indictment says that that Refaeli, through her mother, hid about NIS 25 million in earnings from the Israeli tax authorities while working in the US during 2009-2012.
The mother, Tzipi, is allegedly behind the tax evasion scheme, and Bar claims she knew nothing about her mother’s efforts to hide her income.
