Investigators return to question Netanyahu over alleged receipt of gifts

Israeli police officers on Thursday questioned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under caution for a second time this week on suspicion of taking gifts from businessmen in breach of his role as a public servant, Reuters reported.

Police said the session, which lasted some five hours, was held at Netanyahu's official residence in Jerusalem. A first interrogation that took place on Monday lasted three hours.

In questioning a suspect under caution, police believe that the person they are interviewing has a case to answer.

Netanyahu has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and has told his political rivals not to expect his imminent downfall.
