David Ezra left Israel with NIS 1.7 million in cash that he did not declare. Ezra was on his way to Corfu, Greece, when stacks of bills with a total value of 475,695 Euros were found in the suitcase he checked.
Ezz Eldin Badran entered Israel through the "Jordan River" border crossing with approximately NIS 111,747 in cash. Badran asked his brother-in-law to come to Jordan for one night, in order to transfer some of the funds, which he believed, as on 80,000 shekels, were not to cross the threshold of reporting, the Tax Authority said. It is also clear that the violator was well aware of the provisions of the law, and was made to bring his family in advance to avoid the obligation to report, it said. The Tax Authority decided to impose a financial sanction of NIS 850,000 on theviolator. This is the largest financial sanction imposed by thetax authority in 2022 for this offense.
