JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied bribery allegations against him and his wife after police recommended their indictments in a corruption probe on Sunday.

"These recommendations were determined and leaked even before the investigations began," Netanyahu said in a statement after the third recommended indictment against him in recent months.

"I'm sure that in this case the relevant authorities, after examining the issue, will reach the same conclusion: that there was nothing because there is nothing."
