Al Jazeera: Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial, what you need to know.
The Israeli prime minister is facing corruption charges that could see him sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.
[.]
He is up against three separate cases of corruption filed in 2019: Case 1000, Case 2000, and Case 4000, which include allegations of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.
He denies any wrongdoing and claims to be the victim of a politically orchestrated “witch-hunt” by rivals and the media to remove him from office. [Of course The Son of Perdition Plays The Victim Card! LMAO! 🤣 - DD]

Case 1000:
Also known as the “Gifts Affair”, this case charges the Israeli prime minister with fraud and breach of trust.
It involves allegations that Netanyahu and his wife Sara received lavish gifts from two wealthy businessmen in exchange for political favours.
The businessmen are Arnon Milchan, an Israeli Hollywood film producer, and Australian billionaire James Packer. The gifts allegedly include champagne and cigars.
Milchan testified that he provided gifts to Netanyahu in June 2020.
Netanyahu is accused of advancing Milchan’s interests by helping secure a United States visa after speaking to US government officials.
He is also accused of advancing a tax exemption law that could have benefitted Israelis abroad, including Milchan.

The goods were valued at approximately 700,000 shekels ($186,000)[.]

Case 2000:
It says Netanyahu made a deal with businessman Aron Mozes, a controlling shareholder of the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, for favourable coverage in exchange for legislation to slow the growth of the rival Israel Hayom newspaper.
This case also charges him with fraud and breach of trust.

Case 4000:
This case indicts Netanyahu for granting regulatory favours to Israeli telecommunications company Bezeq in return for positive coverage of him and his wife on a news website controlled by its former chairman.
Netanyahu, in his capacity as communications minister at the time, allegedly provided regulatory benefits to Shaul Elovitch, the owner of Bezeq who also controlled the news website Walla.
The benefits reportedly included mergers and financial gains.
In exchange, Elovitch provided favourable coverage of Netanyahu and his wife.
