Israel's Attorney-general Orders Criminal Probe against PM Netanyahu - TV

Wednesday, 28 December 2016 04:10 PM EST ET

JERUSALEM, Dec 28 (Reuters) - Israel's attorney-general has ordered police to open a criminal investigation in two unspecified matters involving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's Channel 10 television said on Wednesday.

When asked, a Justice Ministry spokeswoman declined to respond to the report.

Netanyahu has in the past denied wrongdoing in the purchase of submarines from Germany, where media have reported a potential conflict of interest involving his lawyer.

The Channel 10 report said one of the two cases that Attorney-General Avihai Mandelblit had been examining was not known to the public. (Writing by Ori Lewis; Editing by Kevin Liffey)
