Police look into suspicions of tax evasion by ex-PM Barak
Police are examining suspicions former premier and defense minister Ehud Barak failed to report money he held in a bank outside the country.
According to the business journal Globes, the police’s elite fraud unit and the Israel Money Laundering Prohibition Authority are investigating possible tax evasion via the account.
No formal investigation is underway, the paper reports, but the preliminary look into the matter is being overseen by Israel’s highest law enforcement officials, Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein and State Attorney Shai Nitzan.
