According to Hebrew-language media reports, Michael Aknin, who was arrested in Israel last September, was returned to France earlier today.
Akinin’s co-conspirator, David Blomberg, was arrested in Israel in 2016 and extradited back to France earlier this year. In July, he was sentenced to nine years in prison for his involvement in the tax fraud that French authorities dubbed the “scam of the century.”
