The Israeli anti-corruption police on Thursday grilled the wife of Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu Sara for over 12 hours on charges of financial corruption and fraud.
Because of the complexity of the case Sara Netanyahu remained under questioning by the Lahav 433 anti-corruption unit from about 1 pm until 1 am Friday morning.
In a statement Lahav 433 said that the findings of the investigation were transferred to the office of the Jerusalem district attorneys where a decision on indictment and prosecution could be reached.
Her interrogation follows the questioning of Meni Naftali the former caretaker of the Netanyahu’s residence in Occupied Jerusalem. That testimony lasted for several hours and raised new questions in the case according to a report on Channel 10.
The police also confronted Ezra Seidoff a former top deputy in Netanyahu’s office who is also under investigation in the probe based on the new information the report said.
Also on the same day police sources revealed that Gil Sheffer the former chief of staff in the premier’s office was questioned two weeks ago regarding accusations leveled against him of his involvement in misusing public funds on behalf of Sara and committing sexual offenses.
Sheffer was ordered to five days’ house arrest.
Other Israeli officials and politicians were also questioned for their involvement in corruption and immoral acts. The police clamped a gag order on the publication of their names.
