Israeli police yesterday recommended charging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in two corruption cases, a move that could lead to the first indictments after several months of investigations focusing on the prime minister and his family, the ABC News website reports today (February 14, 2018).
Israeli police said in a statement they had "sufficient evidence" against the prime minister in both cases "for the offense of accepting bribes, fraud, and breach of trust."
Police alleged Netanyahu received at least one million shekels (around $283,000) in lavish gifts and bribes.
The police's reported recommendations will now go to Attorney General Avihai Mendelblit, who will decide whether to file charges. This process could take months.
