Sara Netanyahu, wife of scandal-plagued Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been charged with misusing state funds. She was indicted this morning.
From CNN:
In a case known as the "Meals Ordering Affair," prosecutors say Sara Netanyahu used state money to pay for $100,000 worth of meals at the prime minister's residence, according to an indictment filed in Jerusalem's magistrate's court on Thursday.
Sara Netanyahu also illegally paid approximately $10,000 for private chefs, prosecutors said.
The charges carry a maximum sentence of 8 years in prison.
Her lawyers slammed the indictment, describing it as "false and hallucinatory".
Police have been investigating the prime M=minister for fraud, bribery, and breach of trust, and say they have enough evidence to indict him.
