[Eldorado 29,778]

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, appeared in court on Sunday for the first hearing in the fraud trial against her, in which she is alleged to have misused state funds in ordering catered meals.

According to the indictment, Sara Netanyahu, along with a government employee, fraudulently obtained from the state more than $100,000 for hundreds of meals supplied by restaurants, bypassing regulations that prohibit the practice if a cook is employed at home.

You bet!  They have no problem at ALL with going after politicians in court if they step out of line.  Occasionally, the courts get caught up in political vendetta's.  It will be interesting to see if they have real evidence against her.  If they do, she needs to face the penalty of the law.

If true, I hope they bring the full fist of the law down on her.
