Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he was unaware of any corruption linked to a deal to buy German submarines, after police recommended charging his lawyer in the investigation.
"As you know, there are no claims as to my involvement," Netanyahu said late Saturday in his first comments on the issue since police issued their findings in the long-running investigation last week.
"Which is not a minute thing since people don't hesitate to blame me with the most absurd claims."
Asked about the alleged offences committed by his relative and family lawyer David Shimron, Netanyahu said: "You know I didn't know."
