(haipo)- A professor of computer science from the Technion was arrested on suspicion of offenses under the Income Tax Ordinance, including failure to report the existence of a bank account abroad and omission of income from bank accounts abroad.
According to the suspicion, since 2012, the professor has held a bank account in Switzerland with funds in the amount of about 6 million dollars until 2019, without reporting to the tax authority on purpose and with the intention of avoiding paying taxes. In addition, it is suspected that the professor had income from consulting for Microsoft in the years 2013-2019 which were deposited in various bank accounts in the US and which he also did not report to the tax authority with the apparent intention of evading tax payment.
The investigation against the suspect is being conducted by the Haifa and North Investigations assessor and was opened following his inclusion in the list of holders of bank accounts abroad that was received according to agreements for the exchange of information between states and tax authorities signed by the State of Israel.
The suspect was brought before the judge of the Haifa Magistrate's Court and released under restrictive conditions, including financial guarantees, an order delaying his departure from the country for 180 days, and a financial deposit of half a million NIS or a lien on real estate worth no less than a million NIS for 180 days.
It is not clear - a member of the Knesset is allowed to evade taxes and take bribes, and still be elected and even serve as finance minister. What is the transfer of the professor?, he acted as an elected official.
It's sad to know that it has also reached higher education.
I thought only in the Knesset there were thieves at this level, I'm sorry because it spread to other districts (what's the wonder, the fish stinks from the head "Nahantanyahu")
Very good that he gets the whole pipe
Garbage country. Doesn't let people enjoy the sweat of their noses
Not so sure he was sweating
In my opinion, everything is good.
He worked for the money, he deserves to enjoy the money, and only this country puts its hand in people's pockets and takes money from the public for all the MKs and ministers, look at Naftali 50 million renovations for his private house...hello, free the lives of the public, go to the Knesset that collects millions. Fed up….
Only from Champa to "everything is good" on his honor the professor has not much connection
Oh, so true.
Tired !
They also take money from us, they also do not help citizens who need help from National Insurance.
Only know how to sting and take money from people.
There are people who do far worse things than the professor and nothing is done to them.
It's a shame that there is no option to like what Ludmila wrote
The professor was arrested by the court immediately ??♂️
Hope they do so. Also for politicians who have done much more.
Poor professor, not finishing the month. Shame and disgrace. Out of mind, his mind went wrong and he thought everyone was an idiot.
poor
