Channel 10: Milchan asked for visa help, PM asked ‘Have you brought cigars?’

Channel 10 reports on a potentially-damning piece of evidence from the Netanyahu probe.

The stations reports on testimony provided by the prime minister’s ex-chief of staff-turned-state’s witness Ari Harow.

Harow has reportedly told police that he sat in on a meeting in which Israeli-born Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan asked Netanyahu for help in renewing his US work visa.

The prime minister asked Milchan if he had “brought cigars,” Harow allegedly recounted.

The testimony could be crucial as investigators seek to establish a reciprocal illicit relationship between Milchan and Netanyahu.
