The Daily Mail on 13th March reported that one of Israel’s largest banks has agreed to pay $195 million for helping US citizens avoid paying taxes using offshore accounts. The US Attorney’s office says Mizrahi-Tefahot Bank Ltd and 2 subsidiaries agreed a deferred prosecution agreement with the DoJ. The bank has more than 4,000 employees and a Los Angeles branch. The bank agreed to pay the government $53 million in restitution, plus the $24 million in fees it earned from the transactions and a $118 million fine.
