Ex-Israel PM Olmert found guilty in corruption retrial
2015-03-31
[Hurriyet Daily News] A Jerusalem court found former Israeli premier Ehud Olmert guilty of corruption March 30 in a retrial of allegations he received envelopes of cash from a US businessman, the verdict read.
He'd make such a good Democrat...
It was the latest legal blow in a humiliating fall from grace for the debonair man who took over as prime minister in 2006 after his mentor and predecessor Ariel Sharon lapsed into a coma from which he never recovered.

"We find the defendant guilty of fraud and a breach of trust," the Jerusalem district court verdict read, "and of the felony of fraud under aggravated circumstances."

Sentencing for the 69-year-old, who already faces a six-year prison sentence in a separate bribery case that he has appealed to the supreme court, is scheduled to begin on May 5, the verdict stated.
