In recent months, investigators from the National Economic Enforcement Unit North Lahav 433, together with the Tax Authority, conducted an undercover investigation against an accountant from Acre, who was suspected of committing money laundering offenses and income tax and VAT offenses, under the guise of providing false accounting services that were reported to the Tax Authority.
According to the suspicions, the CPA committed fraudulent acts in his firm's client books and in the books of companies under his control, while submitting false reports to the Tax Authority, which led to VAT refunds and the omission of income amounting to tens of millions of shekels.
Yesterday, the investigation moved to the open phase with the arrest of the suspect.
During the arrest and searches conducted at his businesses, real estate assets worth approximately 10 million shekels were seized, vehicles worth one million shekels, and bank accounts worth six million shekels were frozen.
