Polish kike's ugly wife's fraud and breach of trust trial begins in Jerusalem

Case of prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife brings renewed attention to scandals plaguing Israel’s first family

'Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife appeared in court on Sunday for the start of her trial over alleged fraud and breach of trust, drawing renewed attention to the many scandals plaguing her husband and their family. 

Sara Netanyahu has been charged with allegedly overspending roughly $100,000 (£76,220) on celebrity chefs at the prime minister’s official residence, even though there was a full-time chef on staff. 

Netanyahu appeared before the Jerusalem’s magistrates court but made no remarks before the press was asked to leave. 

Transcripts from police investigations have been leaked to the media. In them she complains about the quality of the food served at the prime minister’s residence and uses expletives to describe the staff. 

Netanyahu has long faced allegations of extravagant spending and abusive behaviour. In 2016, a court ruled she abused a housekeeper and awarded the man $42,000 (£32,000) in damages. Other former employees have also claimed mistreatment and accused her of charging the state for her private and lavish tastes. 

The prime minister has slammed the indictment, calling the allegations against his wife “baseless and delusional”. The family has vehemently denied wrongdoing and claim they are the victims of a political witch-hunt driven by a hostile media.'
