Sara Netanyahu, the wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was on Thursdayofficially indicted on charges of aggravated fraud and breach of trust, according to the Justice Ministry.
The indictment charged that Sara Netanyahu and a government employee misused state money by obtaining $100,000 for catered meals while falsely claiming the prime ministers residence did not employ a cook. Regulations forbid ordering prepared food when a cook is employed at the residence.

The indictment is a major escalation in a lengthy series of criminal investigations involving the Netanyahu family, which have focused on allegations of bribery, graft and fraud. The Israeli leader and his family have vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
The ongoing investigations took a significant turn last year when Prime Minister Netanyahus former chief of staff, Ari Harow, turned states witness. Harow reached a deal with prosecutors to avoid jail time in his own fraud case in exchange for cooperating in the investigation into the Netanyahu family.

They are both under investigation by their own governments. They feel threatened by the notion of a justice system that functions independently.
