Police to investigate Olmert, report says

Tel Aviv- Police in Israel are to initiate investigations into Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on suspicion of corruption, the Israeli Aruz 10 channel reported Tuesday. Ehud is to be questioned about several probable corruption affairs on his return from China, the television report added. The investigations are to focus mainly on whether he helped business friends of his in a bid to privatize the Israeli bank Leumi when Olmert was Israel's minister of finance. Olmert has been accused of corruption on several occasions, but has never been sentenced. He has always denied the accusations. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
