Police investigators arrive at the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem to question Benjamin Netanyahu in a pair of corruption investigations against him.
It is Netanyahu’s sixth questioning session.
Last week Netanyahu was grilled by police for over four hours for the first time since March.
Netanyahu is facing two separate criminal investigations, known as Case 1000 and Case 2000. He has denied wrongdoing in both cases.
Case 1000 revolves around alleged illicit gifts given to Netanyahu and his family by billionaire benefactors, most notably hundreds of thousands of shekels’ worth of cigars and champagne from the Israeli-born Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan.
Case 2000 is examining an alleged clandestine quid-pro-quo deal Netanyahu made with Yedioth Ahronoth publisher and owner Arnon “Noni” Mozes, in which the prime minister was said to have promised Mozes he would hobble Yedioth’s main commercial rival, the freebie Israel Hayom, in exchange for friendlier coverage from Yedioth.
