Israeli Prime Minister interrogated over corruption scandals

BBC – Israeli police have arrived at the home of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as part of an inquiry into corruption allegations.

Ahead of their arrival, Mr Netanyahu again denied any wrongdoing.

He told the media and political rivals to “hold off partying”, adding: “Nothing will happen, because there is nothing.”
