Netanyahu ‘preparing for criminal probe’

Prime Minister Netanyahu hires lawyer Ya’acov Weinrott to defend him against what may turn out to be allegations of mismanagement of funds at the Prime Minister’s Residence over the past several years, Channel 2 reports.

Netanyahu is “preparing for a criminal investigation,” the station reports, adding that the attorney general’s office is examining details also beyond what was detailed in a State Comptroller report published on Tuesday.
