The Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli was fined £575,000 and given nine months of community service by a Tel Aviv court on Monday after admitting tax evasion.

Her mother Tzipi Refaeli Levine, a former model, received a 16-month jail term for her involvement.

Refaeli was also ordered to pay back over £3 millions of pounds in taxes owed to the state.

Wearing a mask in court, the 35-year-old celebrity, who presented the Eurovision Song Contest in Israel last year, expressed regret for her actions.
