Bar Refaeli’s imprisoned mother seeks presidential pardon

Tzipi Refaeli, the mother of supermodel Bar Refaeli, asks President Reuven Rivlin to commute her sentence.

Refaeli began serving a 16-month prison term in September over her daughter’s tax evasion. She cites her declining health and her “contribution to society” in her request to the president, reports say.
