Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Aronow, the head of most Chabad activities in Israel, is likely to be indicted on fraud, money laundering and tax evasion charges for the alleged embezzlement of tens of millions of shekels, Globes reported.
The total loss to charity funds may exceed as much as $60 million.
The criminal case against Aronow first began eight years ago but was reportedly repeatedly stalled by intense pressure brought by Chabad and its political allies on the State Prosecutor's Office.
The final decision on whether to prosecute Aronow should be made with a few weeks.
