Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu to be questioned for sixth time over corruption

-


 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be questioned by the police later on Sunday for the sixth time over two alleged cases of corruption, local media reported.

Netanyahu is suspected in two criminal investigations dubbed by the police “case 1,000” and “case 2,000”.


In one of the affairs, Netanyahu is suspected of receiving luxury gifts from Israeli-US Hollywood tycoon Arnon Milchan.

Netanyahu said he had been a longtime friend of Milchan and the gifts were given “between friends”.

In the other case, he is suspected of allegedly making secret deals to receive favorable coverage in Yediot Aharonot, one of Israel’s largest daily newspapers.


The upcoming questioning, scheduled for Sunday afternoon, would be the second time this month that the police will arrive to question Netanyahu in his official Jerusalem residence.

Netanyahu has been denying any wrongdoing, constantly saying: “There will be nothing because there was nothing.”

    When false accusations 're leveled even the flying eagles spot it from the sky gravity.

A statement by the spokesman of Innoson Group, Cornel Osigwe, quoted Chukwuma as saying the order was done in bad faith because fair hearing was not granted to Joseph Mbadugha, his counsel. The Statement reads, ”The issuance of bench warrant led to a wild jubilation by some staff of GTB and their lawyers who were fully seated in the court. “It must be stated that based on the submission of Prof Mbadugha, counsel to Innoson, the judge erred in law by making an order to issue a bench warrant against Innoson. “The court is bound by law to listen ...

 Voters in Anambra state go to the polls to elect a new governor this weekend, with security tight after a call from a pro-Biafran group for people to boycott the polls. The result of Saturday’s election is unlikely to change anything politically at the national level but proceedings are being watched closely because of what analysts have said are “unprecedented” measures to stop unrest. Nigeria’s federal police said it is sending 26,000 extra police officers, including counter-terrorism and bomb disposal specialists, sniffer and attack dogs. Three surveillance helicopters will monitor proceedings from the air, while there will be 10 gunboats on the river Niger, plus 15 armoured personnel carriers and 303 patrol vehicles. Police said the measures were “to ensure adequate security and safety of lives and properties before, during and after the elections”. “Police personnel deployed for the election are under strict instructions to be polite and civil but firm in...
