The Israeli accountant general has complained to police over anonymous death threats he has received, according to reports. Yaron Zalika has been told to improve security around his home.

According to one website, interestingly, 'the investigative branch of the police has decided to assign the case to the national financial crime investigation unit'.

It's shocking, frightening stuff. And apparently not the first time it's happened.

Last month, Haaretz.com says, Zalika complained that 'a coalition of beneficiaries illegally helping themselves to state funds has declared an active war against us, and they have been joined by powerful individuals'.
