Police wrapping up PM gifts probe, to recommend indictment
Police are in the final stages of one of the criminal investigations into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and will recommend a corruption indictment against the prime minister, according to Channel 2.
Dubbed Case 1000 in Israel, the investigation revolves around alleged illicit gifts given to Netanyahu and his family from billionaire benefactors.
Police were seeking to question Australian billionaire James Packer in connection to the case, but according to Channel 2, investigators have given up efforts to question him.
The report says police have over 90 testimonies, and are in the final stages of the investigation.
