Tax Authority employees arrested by Lahav 433 on suspicion of corruption, accepting bribes
According to the police, the arrested suspects were thought to have granted around NIS 80 million in illegal tax returns in exchange for the bribes.
Several former and current employees of the Israel Tax Authority (ITA) were arrested on Monday by Lahav 433 on suspicion of accepting bribes. Four suspects were apprehended, three former employees and one current employee working in Petah Tikva. Police allege the suspects granted approximately NIS 80 million in tax return reductions in exchange for bribes.
Separately, Lahav 433 also questioned Shas MK Haim Biton last week regarding alleged misconduct and misuse of public funds. Biton is suspected of using funds from the Ma'ayan HaChinuch HaTorani education network to finance a Shas-affiliated newspaper seven years ago when he was the network's director-general. This case is expected to be transferred to the State Attorney's Office and the Attorney-General's Office for indictment consideration.
