Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s lawyers have not picked up the legal documents from Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit’s office for more than a week, signalling a possible attempt to delay the hearing proceedings against the premier in several corruption probes, Channel 12 reports.

The TV report quotes sources close to Mandelblit as warning that the timetable for the hearing will not change as a result.

Mandelblit has announced graft charges against Netanyahu in three cases, including bribery in one of them, pending a hearing process that is currently at its beginning.
