Israel's Prosecutor General has authorized the opening of an investigation into Netanyahu

Israeli Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit has authorized the police to launch an investigation into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This was reported with reference to its source by the Israeli Channel Ten.

We are talking about two unrelated cases, reports the Times of Israel. Netanyahu is expected to be called in for questioning in the coming days.

In late December, the Second Channel reported on the request of the police to authorize a full-fledged investigation against Netanyahu. The cases were reported to involve corruption and aggravated fraud.

• According to media reports, the police began a secret check against Netanyahu in June 2016. What exactly was the subject of law enforcement investigations was not reported.
• In December 2016, Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit authorized an investigation into Netanyahu's role in Israel's purchase of submarines from Germany due to a possible conflict of interest. Earlier, he instructed to verify information about Netanyahu receiving a million euros in donations from French businessman Arnaud Mimran, who was convicted of fraud.
• In the summer of 2016, it was also reported that the budget expenses for Netanyahu's stay in New York for five days, including the flight, amounted to more than half a million dollars.
