Sara Netanyahu’s trial put off until October
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife, Sara Netanyahu, which was set to begin on July 19, has been postponed until October.
The Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court accepts a request from Netanyahu’s lawyer, Yossi Cohen, asking to postpone the opening hearing due to a clash with another case.
The court rules that the trial will now begin on October 7, after the Israeli court system’s summer break.
Sara Netanyahu was indicted last month along with Ezra Saidoff, a former deputy director general of the Prime Minister’s Office, on charges of fraud and breach of trust.
The two are accused of fraudulently charging some NIS 359,000 ($100,000) for gourmet meals to the state between 2010 and 2013.
