Israeli Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit has decided to file bribery charges against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Case 4000, the World Israel News website reports today (January 19, 2019).
Mandelblit accepted the recommendation of the State Attorney's Office, specifically that of the Tel-Aviv Financial and Tax District Office, to indict Netanyahu in Case 4000, alternately known as the Bezek-Walla case.
The Bezek-Walla Affair is a case in which Netanyahu allegedly received positive news coverage from website Walla!, which is owned by telecommunications giant Bezek in exchange for preferential regulatory treatment granted to the telecom giant.
On December 3, the Israeli police recommended that Netanyahu be charged with bribery and fraud in Case 4000, together with his wife Sarah, and the controlling shareholder of Bezek at the time, Shaul Elovitch, along with others.
