Former PM Olmert asks Rivlin for criminal record to be wiped
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFormer prime minister Ehud Olmert has presented a formal request to President Reuven Rivlin asking for his criminal record to be cleared, two years and a half years after he was released from prison, where he served 16 months on corruption charges.
The request notes Olmert’s “work for the state during his time as prime minister,” according to Haaretz.
Wiping Olmert’s criminal record clean would also remove the “moral turpitude” ruling that prevents him from running for public office for seven years after his release.
Last week, Olmert met with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in New York City to discuss US President Donald Trump’s peace plan.
