Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was questioned for the second time by police authorities over allegations of possible corruption on Monday.

Israeli media revealed that a five-hour long interrogation was made at Netanyahu's official residence. The prime minister was questioned "under caution," a term meaning that anything he said will be used as evidence against him.

The 67-year-old prime minister and his wife were grilled for purportedly receiving illicit cigars and expensive champagnes worth hundreds of thousands of shekels from wealthy business people in Israel and abroad. He repeatedly denounced the wrongdoing and has called the reports "baseless."

"There won't be anything because there is nothing," he said, while pointing out prior suspicions against him that never led to any criminal proceedings. He accused the news media and opponents' hostility as opposition to his hardline stable coalition government.

According to Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, Netanyahu is suspected of "receiving gifts and benefits from businessmen," which relates to crimes of moral integrity. He was also interviewed in a separate case, but police offered no further details.

Netanyahu is known as a connoisseur of expensive cigars in his eight years in office. Some upper class linked to this transgression are American-Israeli "Fight Club" and "The Revenant" producer Arnon Milchan; US billionaire and World Jewish Congress president Ronald Lauder of the Estee Lauder family; and French tycoon Arnaud Mimran who was sentenced to eight years in prison over a scam.

Netanyahu is the only prime minister In Israel's history to have been elected three times in a row. Should his current government last a full term until 2019, he will become the longest-serving prime minister of Israel upon its completion.
