Leonardo DiCaprio's former supermodel girlfriend, Bar Refaeli, is not having a good time as she has been arrested and charged with tax evasion worth millions of dollars by lying about where she lived.

Sources revealed that the 29-year-old supermodel has also suspected of receiving more than 257,000 US dollars in free benefits, including luxury apartments and cars that she never reported, reports News.com.au.

Israel's Tax Authority has also revealed that the supermodel's mother, Zipora, was also busted and her unreported income amounted to dozens of millions of shekels.

Tax authorities have also said that to avoid paying taxes, Refaeli and her mother claimed that the model lived outside of the country.

The mother-daughter duo has been forced to fork over their passports and can't leave Israel without permission for 180 days.
