Investigation ordered into spending of public funds at Binyamin Netanyahu's homes

Israeli Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein has ordered a preliminary investigation into alleged fiscal misconduct at the private and state residences of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
The announcement follows a scathing report by the state comptroller, but the probe will not begin until after the 17 March elections, and Weinstein stressed that Netanyahu himself is not suspected of involvement in the misdemeanours.
The national watchdog’s findings, dealing with the official Jerusalem residence and Netanyahu’s private Ceasarea home, as well as the testimonies of a former employee at the residence, raised only mild suspicions, a statement from Weinstein’s office read.
“But the state attorney’s office believes that the variety of affairs justifies a probe, at the end of which it will be decided whether to launch a criminal investigation,” it said.
