Police look for quid pro quo in Netanyahu gifts probe
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA police inquiry into gifts given to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by billionaire businessman and Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan turns to the question of possible quid pro quos Netanyahu may have given Milchan in return, Channel 2 says Wednesday.
Milchan is part owner of Israel’s Channel 10 television station. Police are reportedly examining whether Netanyahu, who is also the communications minister, was involved in tax and other breaks given to Channel 10 in recent years.
The inquiry has not yet developed into a full-fledged criminal investigation, and, according to Channel 2, will likely not result in an indictment unless investigators find a clear quid pro quo on Netanyahu’s part.
