Netanyahu given week to hand over details of finances — report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe state panel mulling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request to let foreign businessmen fund his legal defense has given him a week to turn over documents relating to his financial holdings, or they will reject his request, Channel 13 news reports.
The panel has offered to allow Netanyahu’s cousin, Nathan Milikowski, and businessman Spencer Partrich, both based in the US, to pay the prime minister’s lawyers, if he discloses details about his financial dealings with Milikowski.
Suspicions have arisen over Netanyahu’s holdings in a US steel manufacturer, which he sold to Milikowski almost a decade ago, and its ties to German shipbuilder Thyssenkrupp.
