Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on Monday. “This will all come to nothing, because there is nothing,” he has said repeatedly of recent accusations of impropriety against him.
JERUSALEM — Israeli police investigators questioned Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu for three hours at his official residence on Monday evening on suspicion of receiving illicit gifts and favors from business executives.
Mr. Netanyahu was questioned “under caution,” the police said in a statement, implying that there were grounds to suspect that Mr. Netanyahu might have committed a criminal offense. “No further details can be given at this stage,” the statement added.
The Ministry of Justice said late Monday that Mr. Netanyahu had been questioned by investigators from Lahav 433, a police fraud investigation and prosecution unit, with the authorization of the attorney general, Avichai Mandelblit.
