The star witness in former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial testified on Monday that his ex-boss was more than a “control freak” who was obsessed with his public image.
Newspaper editor-turned-political operative Nir Hefetz is the prosecution's key witness in Case 4000, which centers on allegations that Netanyahu offered regulatory favors in exchange for favorable coverage on the Walla news site. The former premier faces accusations of bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three separate corruption cases.
