| Israeli PM's wife charged with fraud, breach of trust | |
| 2018-06-22 | |
According to the indictment released by the Israeli "justice ministry" on Thursday, Sara Netanyahu, along with a regime employee, fraudulently ordered hundreds of meals worth $100,000 from gourmet restaurants between 2010 and 2013 in violation of rules barring such practice when the prime minister's residence has a cook. The Israeli premier's wife further directed the residency workers to hide the employment of a cook "so that this won't be found out by the treasury and the office manager," according to the indictment. In recent months, Netanyahu’s attorneys have tried to reach a settlement that would see no criminal indictment but the return of the funds. However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... Israeli Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit rejected any settlement because Sara Netanyahu is also a suspect in Case 4000, which involves suspicions the prime minister advanced regulations benefiting Bezeq telecom’s owner in exchange for flattering coverage from Bezeq’s Walla news site. Sara Netanyahu has long faced allegations of abusive behavior and living extravagantly. | |
