Benjamin Netanyahu's Wife Indicted On Fraud In "Prepared Food Affair"

"With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu already under close legal scrutiny for his role in the Bezeq-Walla Affair, on Thursday his wife was indicted on Thursday over allegations that she misused state funds.
Sara Netanyahu stands accused of ordering hundreds of meals using government funds to the prime minister's residence totaling over $100,000. At the same time she deceptively claimed the residence had no cook, even though there was a cook employed on the state's dime, presumably in order to keep the expensive outside ordered meals coming and to avoid exposure.
What's now being called the "Prepared Food Affair" exploded in Israeli media the moment Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit issued the indictment. Though reporters first learned of the impending charges two weeks ago, all attempts at plea bargaining failed and resulted in the formal charges.
Sara Netanyahu's lawyers reportedly exhausted every avenue to avoid her being slapped with a criminal record, even offering for her to give public apology while returning some of the fraudulently obtained funds, according to the Jerusalem Post.
The indictment has added immense pressure and further scrutiny upon the legally embattled prime minister, who could face an indictment related to bribery charges in the Bezeq-Walla case sometime within the next year. Though PM Netanyahu is not expected to resign over his wife's fraud case, a similar scandal in the 1970's involving Leah Rabin, wife of then-prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, forced Rabin's resignation from office during his first term (1974–77).
Notably, a key witnesses in the prime minister's bribery scandal, a former close adviser to the Netanyahu family named Nir Hefetz, is also a key witness against Sara."
