A former Shas Knesset member, Ofer Hugi, was sentenced to two years in prison, a year and-a-half probation and a fine of NIS 12,000 (roughly $2,900) after being convicted of various fraud charges for crimes committed between 1997- 1999.
According to his verdict, which was delivered some two months ago, during his term as MK Hugi forged student attendance lists in order to increase the transportation budget for Shas' school chain.
Using this method he defrauded the Education Minister of NIS 2 million (about $470,000).
Hugi was also convicted of attempting to receive funding from government ministries for a technological college that does not exist.
