Neto is one of the largest public companies in Israel in the field of food production and import. The Ezra family is the controlling owner, and Adi Ezra, Bar's husband, has direct ownership of almost a quarter of the company's shares.
The company will pay a total of approximately NIS 13.7 million for violations of sections of the Food Law. Just last week, the Tax Authority announced that the chairman of Neto, Dodi Ezra, was fined NIS 850,000. Ezra left Israel with 1.7 million NIS in cash and did not declare them. He also said that he had purchased a house on the island of Corfu in the amount of 2.8 million euros and that the purpose of the funds was to pay the payment. He did not also transfer the balance of the payment to those professionals who renovated the property. He said that for the purpose of purchasing the house, he transferred the money by bank transfer, and when asked why he did not. The star was convicted of a series of offenses and received nine months of actual imprisonment. In addition, her mother Tzipi Rafali served an actual prison sentence as part of a plea deal in the tax offenses case. The case was the question of whether Rafaeli was a resident of Israel in the years 2009-2012, in which, according to the estimates of the tax authority, she generated income of approximately NIS 24 million. According to the indictment filed in the plea agreement, the two carried out a series of actions to avoid paying tax on those incomes. The funds were deposited in the account of a company called Sweet Life that was established in Singapore and was controlled by Bar Refaeli. The two will admit that they did not report income of NIS 4.5 million that they earned in 2007. The charges relate to the years 2007-2014, and concerns commissions of NIS 2.5 million received by Bar.
