State Comptroller, Micha Lindenstrauss, states in his annual report that Defense Minister Ehud Barak, acted against the civil service rules when he transferred ownership on the company ”Ehud Barak Ltd” to his three daughters. According to the Asher committee’s decisions from 1977, a minister has to disengage from all business activities prior to taking office, and sell or lease his interests to a person outside his or her family.
