Tel Aviv: Supermodel Bar Refaeli has been sentenced to nine months of community service by an Israeli court in a tax evasion case. Her mother and agent Zipi Refaeli has been given a 16-month prison term.
Refaeli, 35, and her mother had been convicted in July on charges of tax evasion on income worth $10 million.
The sentences were made official Sunday by a court here, reports nydailynews.com. According to the website, Bar and Zippi had in June negotiated a plea that required them to pay a $1.5 million fine, plus the taxes they owe.
The model and her mother were photographed at the courthouse wearing masks amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Accompanying them were Bar’s father, Rafi, and their lawyers.
