Sara Netanyahu’s lawyer says indictment would be ‘ridiculous’

Yossi Cohen, Sara Netanyahu’s lawyer, responds to reports that the attorney general has decided to indict the prime minister’s wife for diverting public money for her private housekeeping expenses.

“If the reports are correct, we are talking about ridiculous allegations,” he says “How far will the persecution of the Netanyahu family go? Until the cup of tea that an employee of the residence gave Mrs. Netanyahu’s 97-year old father on his death bed while he lived there?”

One of the allegations includes improper use of state funds for her late father’s medical care.
