Benjamin Netanyahu Questioned in Israel Graft Inquiry

http://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/02/w...srael-corruption-investigation.html?ref=world

JERUSALEM — Police investigators arrived at the official residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday evening to question him, indicating that Israel’s attorney general has upgraded a long-running graft inquiry into a criminal investigation.

The Israeli news media has been awash in recent days with reports that a criminal investigation was coming, saying that Mr. Netanyahu is suspected, among other things, of having received illicit gifts and favors. On Monday evening, the Israeli news media showed images of police cars pulling up at the residence.

The Israeli police and the Justice Ministry have refused to confirm or deny the reports, saying only that a formal announcement was forthcoming. Aides to the prime minister also declined to comment.

First suspicion is that this is politically driven in a very political Israeli environment.

Two charges: One minor, on more sizable. The minor one was that Netanyahu's family took some personal gifts. The "major" charge is that Netanyahu's lawyer had a "conflict of interest" during an arms deal negotiation.


Am willing to listen to the details as the investigation proceeds. But am cynical that this is anything more than a political stunt.

It would be truly surprising, if Netanyahu or his wife had been naughty and Obama as well as Putin, Holland etc didn't not only know but had the proof to back it up.

Innocent until proven guilty, as always.

Not when the smoke is constantly around him since the 90s and yet not once did they find a fire.
The mainstream media together with the Opposition are dying to see him go and they fail to do so through elections as the public keeps getting him into power time after time, so there is a lot of pressure to investigate. But it's good that there are these investigations so we can get it over with.
