Sara Netanyahu, wife of Israel’s prime minister, is under investigation for bribery

LA Times  

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and wife Sara at the Choral Synagogue in Vilnius, Lithuania, on Aug. 26, 2018. Sara Netanyahu is a suspect in a bribery case targeting her husband, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a police superintendent said Thursday in court. The police official, Uri Kaner, appeared at a court hearing on so-called Case 4000, a corruption investigation in which the prime minister is suspected of loosening regulations for Bezeq, the country’s largest telecommunications firm In return, he and his wife were allegedly given positive coverage on the company’s popular Walla News website. “This is completely false.” The prime minister’s office released a statement mocking the case by asserting that police might as well have investigated the Netanyahu family dog Kaia, who died in February. “There’s no limit to the absurdity, and anyway, coverage of Prime Minister Netanyahu on the Walla site was and has remained negative on a regular basis.” Police allege that when Netanyahu was serving as the minister of communications — a post he held from 2014 to 2017 in addition to being prime minister — he helped Shaul Elovitch, a personal friend, by giving his company reprieve from various telecommunications rules.
