Leonardi Dicaprio’s ex arrested over tax evasion

Supermodel Bar Refaeli skimped out on taxes worth millions of dollars.

Israeli supermodel, and Leonardo Dicaprio’s ex, Bar Refaeli has been arrested and charged with tax evasion, news.com reports.

The 30-year-old is suspected of receiving more than $US257, 000 in free benefits, including luxury apartments and cars, as well as evading taxes worth millions of dollars by lying about where she lived.

Refaeli’s mother was also implicated by Israel’s Tax Authority who said she didn’t report income amounting to “dozens of millions of shekels” and avoiding paying taxes by claiming the model lived outside the country.

The pair’s home was raided this week before they were arrested and released on bail. They were also forced to relinquish their passports with instructions not to leave Israel without permission for 180 days.
