Comptroller asks AG to investigate Netanyahu over improper legal defense funding

State Comptroller Yosef Shapira asked Attorney General Avichai Mandleblit to investigate whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu improperly received money to fund his legal bills, the Walla news site reports.

The report says Shapira alleges that Netanyahu received $300,000 from businessman Nathan Milikowsky to fund his legal defense without getting the necessary permission from the State Comptroller’s Office.
