NETANYAHU’S WIFE BRIBERY ‘SUSPECT’, COURT HEARS

Sara Netanyahu, wife of Israel’s prime minister, is suspected by authorities of accepting bribes in a corruption case involving Israel’s telecom giant, Haaretz and other Israeli media reported Thursday.

Police investigator Uri Kanar told a Tel Aviv court that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife, pictured, was a suspect, and that police have testimony that the Netanyahus and the owner of the Bezeq telecom company were cognizant of the implications of their actions.

The case deals with suspicions that confidants of Benjamin Netanyahu promoted regulations worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Bezeq in exchange for positive coverage of the prime minister in Bezeq’s news website, Walla.
