Disgraced French businessman Arnaud Mimran has leveled new allegations against Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Currently serving a jail sentence in France after being convicted on charges of fraud, Mimram is said to have made the allegations from his jail cell that was bugged by French authorities, reported the French publication Mediapart.
According to the report, Arnaud Mimran, a 51 year old dual Israel-French citizen, said that he once gave Benjamin Netanyahu money, transferring funds “from my private account to Benjamin Netanyahu’s private account.”
Arnaud Mimram was also recorded stating that he paid for Benjamin Netanyahu to vacation in places like Miami, Monaco, Saint Tropez on the French Riviera, Deauville in Normandy and the French ski resort of Courchevel.

There has been no independent corroboration of these allegations and they were not made on the record or under oath.
