Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife Sara reportedly refused to be questioned in the presence of two state witnesses during her questioning in the Bezeq telecom corruption case earlier today.

Israel Police’s national anti-fraud unit Lahav 433 wanted to question the prime minister’s wife, with ex-Communications Ministry director Shlomo Filber and former Netanyahu spokesman Nir Hefetz in the room, regarding yet a separate case, pertaining to the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem, Channel 10 news reports.

Sara Netanyahu was questioned for over four hours earlier today, her second interrogation in the quickly ballooning corruption case surrounding Israel’s largest telecom provider.

The report says Sara Netanyahu’s refusal to be questioned in the presence of the state witnesses is akin to exercising the right to remain silent.
