Benjamin Netanyahu questioned in corruption probe

 (CNN)Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was interrogated Monday night on suspicion of corruption in a criminal investigation authorized by the nation's attorney general.
Netanyahu is suspected of having received benefits from businessmen, according to Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld and Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit.

Netanyahu was questioned "under caution on the suspicions of receiving benefits," said Rosenfeld.
The term "under caution" refers to the questioning of someone suspected of having committed a crime, with the warning that anything they say or decline to talk about could be used against them in court proceedings.

I'm thinking this is probably politically motivated and he was questioned for 3 hours; but this is a major news story so I post.
