Senior Lawyer Close to Netanyahu Questioned On Tax Evasion

Local Editor

The so-called ‘Israel' Tax Authority is investigating a senior lawyer close to the Zionist Prime Minister's Benjamin Netanyahu's family, ‘Israeli' Channel 2 News reported.

The lawyer is suspected of evading taxes by transferring funds into bank accounts in Romania allegedly under his name, which he did not report to the Tax Authority.

The authority is currently in the process of increasing its cooperation with other tax authorities around the world, regarding the transfer of information.

As of 2018, such information transfers have been agreed to be carried out automatically.

Over the past year, the mentioned authority received information on more than 65,000 ‘Israelis' who manage accounts in American financial institutions.

The information was transferred to ‘Israel' through the US Tax Authority, according to new legislation that requires the ‘Israeli' Tax Authority to pass on information to the Americans and vice versa.
