Embattled Olmert admits taking cash |
2008-05-09 |
Israel's prime minister Ehud Olmert has admitted taking cash from an American businessman, but says he will resign if he's indicted. Olmert made a statement late Thursday at his official residence after a gag order was lifted from the case. According to police suspicions, Olmert accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal contributions from a US citizen, Moshe Talansky, AP reported. The Zionist regime premier said in a statement that a lawyer handled his finances, and everything was legal. "I never took bribes, I never took a penny for myself," he said. He said he would not fight to stay in office if he is charged. "If I am indicted, I will resign my post," he said. |
