After a long police probe into revelations that she has falsified household expenses, "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's wife Sara was charged on Thursday with fraud and breach of trust.

Netanyahu’s Wife Charged with Fraud

"The prosecutor a short time ago filed charges against the prime minister's wife," the so-called "justice" ministry said.

The revelations showed last year are that she and an aide falsely declared there were no cooks available at the Bibi's official residence and ordered from outside caterers at public expense.

The cost amounted to "over $97,000," the ministry said.

She has denied any wrongdoing.

Her husband is himself under investigation on suspicion of corruption offenses.

In one case, he and family members are suspected of receiving $285,000, 240,000 euros worth of luxury cigars, champagne and jewelry from wealthy personalities in exchange for financial or personal favors.

In the other case, investigators suspect the premier of trying to reach an agreement with the owner of Yediot Aharonot, a top Hebrew newspaper, for more favorable coverage.

Netanyahu has protested his innocence and vowed to remain in power, saying he is the victim of a "witch-hunt".

He also faces suspicions of government favors that saw regulatory breaks go to the Zionist entity's largest telecom firm Bezeq, in return for favorable coverage of him and his wife by a news website.
