Israel's Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit today (February 28, 2019) indicted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a series of corruption charges, according to the CBN website.
The indictment comes after more than two years of investigations and will significantly affect Israel's national elections on April 9.
Israeli police have recommended charging Netanyahu for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in three separate cases -- Case 4000, Case 1000, and case 2000.
Case 4000 -- also known as the Bezeq-Walla Affair -- is considered the most serious of the three cases. Netanyahu is suspected of having a quid pro quo relationship from 2012 to 2017 with Shaul Elovitch, the main shareholder of Israel's leading telecommunications company "Bezeq." Netanyahu is accused of giving Elovitch favorable government policies in exchange for positive coverage of the Netanyahu family on Bezeq's "Walla!News."
