TIL Desk/World/Jerusalem/ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied alleged corruption charges against him after the Israeli police confirmed that they have found enough evidence of fraud against him and his wife for the third time.
The Israeli prime minister has been accused by the authorities of allegedly favouring the country’s largest telecom giant ‘Bezeq’ in return for more positive coverage of him and his wife. Netanyahu immediately rejected the accusations against him and his wife, claiming “these recommendations were determined and leaked even before the investigations began.”
‘I’m sure that in this case the relevant authorities, after examining the issue, will reach the same conclusion: that there was nothing because there is nothing,’ Netanyahu added. Police have already charged Netanyahu with alleged corruption in two other cases, one, whereby the prime minister accepted gifts from billionaire friends and the second, over trading positive media coverage for advantageous legislation for a newspaper.
