Police sees reason to sue Netanyahu

jerusalem - The Israeli police see sufficient reasons to sue Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for two cases of bribery. According to the Haaretz newspaper site, case 1000 is about the accusation that the government leader has accepted excessive gifts from wealthy benefactors in exchange for political favors.

'Case 2000' is a deal that Netanyahu wanted to conclude with the publisher of the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth. In exchange for positive reporting, the Prime Minister would disadvantage the competing free newspaper Israel Hayom.

Netanyahu, who denies all allegations, has been questioned several times since the affair for more than a year as a suspect in these two cases. With the information, the police can only make a recommendation. The Attorney General must decide whether the Prime Minister is being charged.
