The PM’s office denies that Netanyahu ever billed more than once for trips abroad during his stint as finance minister a decade ago.

The denial comes on the heels of a report that the police are resuming an inquiry into the allegations, in order to determine whether there are grounds for a criminal investigation.

“There was no double-billing,” Netanyahu’s office says, according to Channel 2, which also reported the resumption of the inquiry earlier today. “The attorney general investigated the matter and concluded that there was no reason to open an investigation based on the material that was brought to his attention in 2013.”
