Israel’s attorney general has officially submitted his indictment against prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, giving him 30 days to appeal for immunity.

The 77-page indictment was made public on Monday, charging the long-time Israeli leader with bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three separate corruption cases.

It marks the first time in Israeli history a sitting prime minister has been charged with a crime.

The indictment says he will stand trial in a Jerusalem district court and also names 333 witnesses the attorney general may call upon to give evidence at the trial.

Netanyahu denies any wrongdoing and has rejected calls to resign.
