Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicted on bribe and fraud charges

The indictment marks the first time in Israeli history that a sitting prime minister has been charged with a crime.



"Israel's attorney general announced Thursday that his office plans to indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on corruption charges after a two-year investigation. 

 The prime minister faces one count of bribery and three counts of breach of trust. "The Attorney General, Avihai Mandelblit, has informed the Prime Minister, Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, through his attorney, that he is considering indicting him on several criminal charges," according to a statement by Ministry of Justice spokesman Adi Livni.  

Prosecutors would have to go forward with a pre-indictment hearing before Netanyahu is formally charged. "It should be noted that the decision regarding an indictment is not yet final, since the Attorney General will offer to conduct a pre-indictment hearing before reaching any final decision, according to Israeli law," according to Livni's statement. 

 Police have previously recommended indicting Netanyahu for bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three different cases."




Couldn't happen to a nicer scoundrel. 

Remember THIS?



Let's continue to hope that the arc of Justice bends toward Trump and indicts him the way it did NuttyYahoo!
