Fresh out of prison, ex-PM Olmert seen shopping at Tel Aviv mall

Hours after being paroled from prison, former prime minister Ehud Olmert is seen browsing Tel Aviv’s newest upscale mall.

Management from TLV Fashion Mall in a statement say the ex-prime minister “purchased a few items” before bumping into IDF Maj.-Gen. Avi Zamir, who served as personnel chief during Olmert’s tenure but currently works as the mall’s CEO.

The statement says hundreds of shoppers approached Olmert to wish him well.

Olmert was paroled from Ma’asiyahu Prison earlier today after serving 16 months out of a 27-month sentence for corruption charges.
