Further raids in Israeli PM corruption probe
Investigators from the National Fraud Unit searched the offices “in connection with the Olmert investigation,” police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. Olmert headed up the ministry from 2003 to 2006.
The investigation, the fifth into Olmert’s conduct since he became prime minister two years ago, has raised doubts about his ability to conclude a peace deal with the Palestinians and provoked speculation about his ability to remain in office. Olmert has said he will resign if indicted.
