JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's Attorney-General on Monday ordered a criminal investigation into suspected mismanagement in the running of the residences of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Justice Ministry said.

A report earlier this year by the State Comptroller, Israel's state auditor, covering 2009-2013 said some of the taxpayer-funded running costs at the prime minister's official and private residences were unreasonably high and it called for steps to improve efficiency.

A Justice Ministry statement said Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein had adopted a police recommendation to investigate "a number of matters concerning the running of the prime minister's residences."

The statement mentioned no names and a source at the State Attorney's office said there were no plans to call in Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, for questioning, although this could not be ruled out later.

"We cannot elaborate on what investigative actions have been taken or will be taken..., (or) who will be invited for questioning," the statement said.

1. Oversight.

Is there any method in place to monitor all that cash the US taxpayers send to Israel every year? Bibi is asking for more money, while he is in DC. The crooks in the gop will likely put it to a vote, or slip it into a bill already on the docket to fast track. He comes here, insults our President, is treated like royalty by the traitors on the other side. WHY?
