(MENAFN) Israeli police today questioned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over what local media said was a case involving the country's largest telecoms firm, one of three corruption probes in which he has been named as a suspect.
Netanyahu has denied any wrongdoing in all the cases. He has been questioned over so-called "Case 4000" before and police have yet to make a recommendation about any charges.
The authorities allege Netanyahu awarded regulatory favours to Bezeq Telecom Israel in return for positive coverage of him and his wife on a news website owned by the company.
In the two other cases, in which police have recommended that Netanyahu be charged with bribery, the final decision about whether to prosecute rests with the Israeli attorney general.
