Olmert seeks early release from jail
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFormer prime minister Ehud Olmert is asking for early release from prison, six months after starting a 19-month sentence for corruption.
The request pertains to the sentence he is serving in the Holyland real estate affair, rather than the case involving bribes from an American Jewish businessman. Olmert’s conviction in the latter case includes an eight-month jail sentence, and is still at the appeal stage.
The parole board hearing on Olmert’s request is expected to take place on December 25, Channel 10 says.
