Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's wife, Sara, will be indicted on charges of misusing public funds on Friday, Israel's Channel 2 News reported.

Sara Netanyahu is suspected of fraudulently receiving more than $100,000 in goods, as well as allegedly misusing funds meant to be used on the prime minister's residence.

Israel police recommended indicting the prime minister's wife months ago.

Channel 2 News reported in July that the country's Attorney General Avichai Mandelbli would accept a recommendation from police to indict Netanyahu.

Prime Minister Netanyahu downplayed the investigation, referring to his wife using public funds at the official prime minister residence in Jersualem.
