Israeli police are questioning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as part of an investigation into a corruption case involving the country’s telecom giant.

Police were seen arriving at Netanyahu’s home on Monday.

Media reports said Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, and son Yair were also being questioned at another location.

In return, Bezeq’s news site, Walla, allegedly provided positive Netanyahu coverage.

It is the second time that Netanyahu, who held the communications portfolio until last year, has been questioned over the affair.

Police declined to comment.

Police have recommended indicting Netanyahu on corruption charges in two other cases.

Netanyahu has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, dismissing the accusations as a media witch hunt.
