Israeli police have said its investigation has found sufficient evidence for bribery and fraud charges to be brought against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife in a third corruption case against the leader, reports Aljazeera.
Authorities on Sunday alleged Netanyahu awarded regulatory favours to Bezeq Telecom Israel in return for more positive coverage of him and his wife on a news website owned by the company.
The attorney general will now decide whether to bring indictments in the case.
The prime minister said in a statement on Sunday that the police recommendations against him have no legal basis and that "there was nothing because there is nothing".
Police have already recommended indicting Netanyahu on corruption charges in two other cases, one involving accepting gifts from billionaire friends, and the second over trading positive media coverage for advantageous legislation for a newspaper.
Netanyahu has consistently denied any wrongdoing, dismissing the accusations as a witch-hunt.
