Ofer Hugi (Hebrew: עופר חוגי, born 17 April 1964) is an Israeli firner politician who served as a Knesset member for Shas from 1999 to 2003, and again for just under a month in 2006.
After finishing school, Hugi was conscripted into the IDF, where he attained the rank of Staff Sergeant.
After replacing an MK who had been convicted of fraud, in December 2006, Hugi was found guilty of aggravated forgery, using forged documents (by recording a fictitious salary for his wife, he avoided income tax), receiving items through fraudulent means, false registration of a corporation, and attempting to receive items through fraudulent means (including Education Ministry funding for student transportation).
[1] This was in relation to a technical college which he founded in the late 1990s, and had received hundreds of thousand of shekels for, though it later became apparent that the lists of students and teachers he had provided were fictitious.
In February 2007, Hugi was sentenced to two years in prison, and ordered to pay a fine of 12,000 shekels.
