Jerusalem: Israel's Channel Two TV says police will next week question Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in connection to a corruption case.
The TV has reported today that police will confront Olmert with evidence they have obtained in recent interrogations of those believed involved in the case. Police this week questioned two US businessmen in connection to the suspicions. Olmert has been questioned over the allegations once this far.
The case centres on American fundraiser Morris Talansky who allegedly transferred tens of thousand of dollars to Olmert. The delivery of the cash allegedly occurred during Olmerts tenure as Jerusalem mayor for a decade beginning in 1993 or as trade minister beginning in 2003. Talansky is slated to give a court deposition on May 25.
