Olmert questioned again for fraud

Former Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert was questioned on Sunday for three hours for fraud, amid suspicions of obstruction of justice as well as tampering with evidence and testimony in the so-called 'Talansky and Rishon Tours' cases.

This marks the second time Olmert was interrogated on the subject, and questioning is expected to end by Sunday.

Olmert’s defense lawer, Navot Tel Tzur, is also suspected of coercing testimony.

In late April, pleas were made in another case called 'the Holyland case' in which Olmert was convicted of accepting bribes.

Olmert’s defense attorney, Eli Zohar, requested that he not be sentenced to time in prison, while the prosecution was seeking at least six years in jail.
