Sara Netanyahu said suspected of bribery in Bezeq probe

Sara Netanyahu is suspected of bribery in Case 4000, also known as the Bezeq probe, Haaretz reports.

In the case, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is suspected of securing benefits for the Bezeq telecommunications company in exchange for positive coverage on the Walla news site, owned by Bezeq controlling shareholder Shaul Elovitch — an accusation that could lead to charges of bribery.

The newspaper says that during a court session today, a police representative confirmed that the premier’s wife is also suspected of bribery in the case.
