Israeli police on Sunday recommended indictments for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, on bribery and other charges.
The recommended indictments are a result of police investigation. They are looking into whether regulatory benefits were granted to a large Israeli telecommunications company in exchange for positive news stories about the prime minister.
Police say there is evidence to charge the couple with bribery, fraud and breach of trust.
The attorney general will now decide whether the Netanyahus will be indicted.
Police had already recommended indicting the prime minister on corruption charges in two other cases.
