Israeli police has launched a criminal investigation into Sara Netanyahu, the wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to the public announcement made by the state attorney’s office on Sunday.
The investigation, which opened on December 26, follows accusations made by an Israeli opposition lawmaker, Naama Lazimi, regarding Sara Netanyahu’s involvement in attempts to influence her husband’s ongoing corruption trial.
Lazimi said, “The prime minister’s wife is a convicted criminal. I will not remain silent, I will not let up, and I will not let this affair be buried. Justice will be done; we will make sure it happens.”
The criminal investigation was initiated after Israeli Channel 12’s Uvda news programme’s allegations in December that Sara Netanyahu had attempted to intimidate a key witness in her husband’s trial.
Additionally, the show accused her of orchestrating demonstrations aimed at harassing the Attorney General, his deputy, and others seen as hostile to her husband.
The state attorney’s office confirmed that the investigation is being carried out by Israel Police in collaboration with the cyber department of the state attorney’s office.
