State prosecutors mulling another Netanyahu criminal investigation — report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleState prosecutors are mulling whether to open a criminal investigation into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the high-profile submarine corruption investigation, Hadashot news reports.
The report comes shortly after media outlets revealed that Netanyahu had sold stock in a company that supplied services to German shipbuilder ThyssenKrupp, who was supplying submarines to the Israeli navy.
Netanyahu was previously questioned as a witness in the case and was not considered a suspect.
Earlier today, Netanyahu’s main election challenger Benny Gantz alleged the prime minister gained 16 million shekels ($4.4 million) from his stock that rose due to a deal to buy an unnecessary submarine.
