Olmert submits first furlough request

Former prime minister Ehud Olmert makes his first request for furlough from prison since starting an 19-month sentence for corruption in February.

Olmert is asking for time out of prison at the start of the summer, Walla says.

The former prime minister is eligible for furlough once he has completed the first quarter of his sentence.

The prison is looking into his request, according to Walla.
