Shas party leader Aryeh Deri has reached a plea deal with prosecutors that will see him admit to two tax offense charges in exchange for resigning from the Knesset and paying a fine of some NIS 180,000 (around $57,000).
Deri, who previously served time behind bars for a bribery conviction, will not be charged with a crime that will bar him from running again for the Knesset.
