Olmert to Mazuz: investigate state comptroller / Ynet
PM appeals to attorney general demanding he opens investigation against Lindenstrauss. He is the one breaking the law, says Olmert. MKs slam Olmert, call move 'pathetic spin'
Last April State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss advised Mazuz to launch a criminal investigation against Olmert for suspicions
that he appointed Likud cronies to ministerial posts during his tenure as Industry, Trade and Labor minister.
Olmert is being probed for the purchase of the apartatment about a year-and-a-half ago, after reportedly receiving a $320,000 discount in exchange for expediting construction permits.
In January, the National Fraud Investigation Unit opened an investigation of the sale of Bank Leumi's controlling shares and the prime minister's alleged bribery offenses in the sales tender.
