Netanyahu beefs up defense team ahead of AG’s decision on indictment

Prime Minister Netanyahu adds prominent lawyer Pini Rubin to his legal team ahead of Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit’s decision on whether to indict the premier in a series of corruption investigations.

Rubin has previously represented a number of high-profile clients, among them Arnon Milchan, who Netanyahu is suspected of receiving lavish gifts from in exchange for favors in one of the cases in which he is a suspect.

Mandelblit will reportedly announce later this month whether he intends to indict Netanyahu pending a hearing. The prime minister has denied wrongdoing in the three separate cases in which he has been investigated.
