Former PM accused of taking bribes
Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert has been indicted alongside a number of other people for allegedly taking bribes in a massive property scandal, judicial sources said.
The allegations stem from Olmert's tenure as Jerusalem mayor and will add to the woes of the former premier, who is already on trial on three unrelated counts of fraud and bribery.
Olmert is accused of allegedly accepting bribes to smooth the way for the construction of the huge Holyland residential complex in Jerusalem during his tenure as mayor in the 1990s.
