'L.A. Confidential' Producer Arnon Milchan Cited in Indictment Against Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu
Hollywood producer and head of Regency Enterprises Arnon Milchan has been named in the indictment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In one of the three cases against Netanyahu, he's accused of receiving a "supply line of gifts" from Milchan, who has Oscar nominations for, alongside Australian billionaire James Packer, in exchange for favors from the prime minister. Between October 2011 and December 2016, Netanyahu allegedly tried to help Milchan’s business interests, according to the indictment. On two occasions he lobbied U.S. officials to get Milchan a visa. In another incident he appealed to then-finance minister Yair Lapid to extend income tax breaks to the producer. The indictment also claims that in Netanyahu’s capacity as minister of communications, the prime minister tried to help push through a merger beneficial to Milchan.
