Olmert to undergo eighth interrogation

Outgoing prime minister scheduled for eighth round of questioning on fraud charges including Investment Center scandal, Cremieux Street affair

The police investigation against outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is still underway, despite his having handed in his resignation. After a recess of a couple of weeks, Olmert is scheduled to be interrogated once more on Thursday.

 

For the eighth time investigators from the National Fraud Unit will arrive at Olmert's official residence in Jerusalem in order to question him on the many fraud charges against him. The interrogation is scheduled to begin at 10 am.

 

The prime minister has allotted two hours to the questioning, although he may be persuaded, as in previous rounds of questioning, to allow for more time.

 

The charges on which Olmert will most probably be questioned include the Investment Center scandal and the Cremieux Street affair.

 

When police transferred the case files on the Talansky affair and the Olmertours scandal to the State Prosecutor's Office, material on the Investment Center was left out. Police claim completion of the materials is required in order to interrogate the prime minister on the matters.
