Prosecutors want PM charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust — report

State prosecutors are drafting a legal opinion recommending Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stand trial for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, according to a Channel 13 report.

Weeks after Netanyahu’s pre-indictment hearing that sought to counter the looming indictment, prosecutors are urging Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit to keep the original proposed charges intact, namely bribery, fraud and breach of trust in the so-called Case 4000, as well as fraud and breach of trust in Cases 1000 and 2000.

Mandeblit will begin consultations with state prosecutors to make a decision on Sunday, Channel 13 says.
