Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu quizzed over suspicion of graft

Israeli police have questioned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for nearly three hours on suspicion of graft after the Attorney General said that the police had gathered enough evidence against him as a possible criminal suspect. The police investigating team questioned 67-year-old Netanyahu last evening over suspicion that he and his family members received illicit gifts and other favours from businessmen running into hundreds of thousands of dollars. <br/><br/>Mr Netanyahu has strongly denied all allegations against him. A statement issued by Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit said, police found enough evidence to support the questioning of the premier as a possible criminal suspect. It said, the decision to question Netanyahu was made in light of evidence collected in the past month.
