Criminal Probe into Netanyahu Only after Elections

Local Editor

"Israeli" Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein stated he had ordered a preliminary investigation into alleged fiscal misconduct at the private and settling units of "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The announcement followed a scathing report by the so-called Comptroller watchdog report, but noted the probe would begin only after the March 17 elections.

Earlier, "Israel" Police Commissioner Yohanan Danino said that there was sufficient evidence in order to open a formal examination against Netanyahu.

According to a statement released by the Attorney General's Office, it reviewed "a number of cases in which evidence has been collected and raised suspicions that actions constituting criminal offenses took place."

Nonetheless, the statement said that "the evidence collected indicates that the suspicions regarding the possibly severe [criminal]actions are low... (but) still warrant a probe at the end of which there might be room for a criminal investigation."

A senior source in the "Israeli" law enforcement system declared that the possible investigation would focus on testimonies and evidence that suggest that the Zionist Prime Minister and his wife Sara, or people on their behalf, used funds to pay for private help in their official residence in Occupied al-Quds.

Hence, if the probe went forward, Ezra Seidoff, the deputy director of Bibi, would be one of the main individuals who may be called in for questioning.

According to information relayed by the Zionist entity's Comptroller's office, testimonies by Former Prime Minister's Residence manager Meni Naftali as well as additional testimonies collected in the past two weeks, there might be legal grounds to launch such a probe.

The most troublesome issue in the Comptroller's report was the employment of Avi Fahima, a private electrician and former Likud Center member, an issue that insinuated public fund misconduct and violation of government regulations.

A source added that "the evidence allegedly shows a criminal method, and there is no escape from examining it. This accumulation [of findings] cannot be ignored".

However, he insisted that the Attorney General should hurry in making his decision, in order to prevent any attempts to obstruct the investigation, such as through coordinating versions ahead of the probe.

Henceforth, workers in Netanyahu's Office believed that the Zionist government was trying to stall "in order to help those involved in the issue clean out all the dirt" since the findings appeared in Menny Nafatli's testimony and the Comptroller's report.
