Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife is suspected of taking bribes in connection with the corruption investigation of the Israeli leader and the owner of the country’s biggest telecommunications company, Bezeq Ltd., Hadashot TV said, citing police.
A police representative confirmed that Sara Netanyahu was being regarded as a suspect in the case during court testimony in Tel Aviv, the television report said. The officer was responding to a lawyer who asked whether the Netanyahu’s wife was aware that Bezeq’s Walla news site published flattering stories about her in exchange for regulatory benefits, according to Hadashot.
