Israeli president recommended for indictment over sex scandal
Israel’s attorney-general today recommended that President Moshe Katsav be indicted on charges of rape and abuse of power, a stunning accusation against the country’s ceremonial head of state.
A final decision on the indictment would be made only after a hearing, where Katsav could present his case.
Katsav has denied the charges stemming from complaints made by several women who worked for him during his tenure as president and, before that, as a Cabinet minister.
