Israel's Netanyahu set to be indicted on corruption charges
A previous version of this report indicated Netanyahu had been indicted. Israel’s attorney general, Avichai Mandelblit, said he has decided, in accordance with a law-enforcement recommendation, to file charges against the prime minister, but he had not yet followed through. The story has been corrected.
Avichai Mandelblit said Thursday he has accepted a police recommendation to file charges against Netanyahu in three different cases, pending a final hearing. He was also set to charge Netanyahu with fraud and breach of trust in two other cases. The first involves accepting gifts from billionaire friends, and the second revolves around alleged offers of advantageous legislation for a major newspaper in return for favorable coverage.
