Supermodel Bar Refaeli is under investigation in her native Israel over allegations that she evaded paying local tax on earnings from her international career.
Lawyers for the 30-year-old, who Israeli media have reported is worth up to $20mn, rejected the accusations.
Her lawyers said the case centred on a long-running dispute with Israeli authorities over whether Refaeli, a former Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model, should be considered a resident of Israel for tax purposes.
The authorities’ investigation of Refaeli was the worst-kept secret in Israel this week, although a gag order kept her name and face out of the media.
That was lifted yesterday, in tandem with a court hearing at which she was not required to appear.
Yair Rabinovich, a former Israeli national tax commissioner, said on Israel Radio that her residency classification depended on a combination of factors.
