Israel's attorney-general orders criminal probe against PM Netanyahu

Israel's attorney-general has ordered police to open a criminal investigation in two unspecified matters involving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's Channel 10 television said on Wednesday.



A Justice Ministry spokeswoman said in a statement that checks in the matter "are still ongoing and this is neither confirmation or denial of what has been alleged".



"The attorney-general, the police and prosecutors are working in close cooperation and a public announcement will be made in due course about the investigation," she said.



There was no immediate response from Netanyahu's office to a Reuters query on the report.



Netanyahu has in the past denied wrongdoing in the purchase of submarines from Germany, where media have reported a potential conflict of interest involving his lawyer.



The Channel 10 report said Attorney-General Avihai Mandelblit had authorized police to question Netanyahu under caution, and that a date for the interrogation would be set in the coming days.



It said the more serious of the two cases that Mandelblit had been examining had not yet leaked out to the public.

They charged his wife recently and I believe she was found guilty of abusive treatment of staff and she has recently been grilled about misuse of state funds.

Let's wait and see.

It's a good start! That rat-bastard is the cause of the next war in the middle east.

It will make our Minority-President-Elect even less popular.

If it comes to anything Quill.   He's the best wiggling rat squirmer in the business and because he's been backing the extremist settlers they will rush to his defence and cause havoc if he is found guilty.

NOT ONLY are Netanyahu and his missus well recognised "white collar crim's"...

But Netanyahu is also a proven war criminal of long standing --  if he were on the other side, he would be regularly labelled a "known terrorist" by his friends in the western/Zionist press corps..

However, this is Israel we're talking about here, folks.  Even if he is found guilty, justice is never likely to be served..   His backers in the US, Britain, Germany --  as well as in those West Bank squats (all 250,000+ in his illegal invader force..), are sure to have his back...
