Jerusalem: Israeli police arrived on Friday at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's home where media reports said they were to question him for an eighth time over allegations of fraud and bribery.
An AFP journalist saw detectives arriving at Netanyahu's official Jerusalem residence in two vehicles at around 9 am (0700 GMT).
Police issued no official confirmation that questioning was under way.
Investigators were at the same time to take a statement from his wife Sara at national fraud squad headquarters near Tel Aviv, media said.
A former Netanyahu aide and a top businessman are both in custody, linked to allegations of suspected fraud by the premier.
Nir Hefetz, a former media adviser to the Netanyahu family, and Shaul Elovitch, the controlling shareholder of telecoms group Bezeq, were among seven suspects arrested last week as fraud suspicions against Netanyahu snowballed.
