JERUSALEM: Israeli police grilled’s wife for two hours on Wednesday on suspicion that she diverted public money for private housekeeping expenses, local media said.
The interrogation came as a new threat loomed over the premier in his own long-running battle with corruption suspicions, as his former chief of staff reportedly considered an offer to turn state’s evidence.
Israeli public radio said Sara Netanyahu was interrogated at National Fraud Squad headquarters near Tel Aviv over allegations she used public money for personal housekeeping expenses at the couple’s official and private residences.
