Court convicts ex-Israeli PM of bribery
Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert has been found guilty of fraud and breach of trust in a retrial on corruption charges.
The ruling was given in Jerusalem District Court.
Olmert was acquitted in 2012 of charges he accepted cash-stuffed envelopes from an American supporter.
But his long-time confidant later became a state’s witness, offering tape recordings of conversations with Olmert about receiving the cash, leading to a retrial.
