Netanyahu decries ‘slander’ after police recommend indictment
Responding to police’s recommendation that he be indicted for bribery, Netanyahu says the months-long investigation into his alleged corruption amounts to slander against him and his family.
He says some 15 investigations have been opened against him over his years as prime minister, in order to “topple him from power.”
“They have brutally attacked my wife and children to hurt me,” he says, in remarks delivered outside his home.
“This time too things will end without anything,” he says. “These recommendations have no place in a democratic state.”
He says there was “no basis” for police investigations into him.
