A Haredi resident of Kiryat Yearim is among three suspects arrested in a joint operation by the Jerusalem District Police Central Unit and the Tax Authority on suspicion of fraud, money laundering, and tax offenses totaling approximately NIS 500 million, according to reports.
New details have emerged in the case of three suspects arrested earlier Wednesday morning on suspicion of a NIS 500 million fraud, money laundering, and tax evasion scheme. At 07:31 Jerusalem, police identified one of the suspects as a Haredi resident of Kiryat Yearim, a town in the Jerusalem corridor. The arrests and seizure of dozens of assets were first reported at 07:07 Jerusalem.
The Zioneer reported at 07:12 that police arrested three suspects and seized assets suspected to have been purchased with proceeds of the scheme. Earlier reports from ynet, Channel 12, and N12 at 07:07 outlined the investigation: ynet described the use of fictitious charities; Channel 12 added that dozens of assets were seized and a network of fictitious companies and charities was involved; N12 further specified that the network operated in Israel and abroad.
The identification of the Kiryat Yearim resident adds a community detail to the case, but the identities of the other two suspects have not been officially released. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected.
