Olmert’s lawyer meets state prosecutor on Talansky case
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe lawyer for disgraced former PM Ehud Olmert meets with State Prosecutor Shai Nitzan to discuss a plea deal in the so-called Talansky case. Olmert is set to appeal his bribery conviction in the affair, which earned him an eight-month prison sentence.
The Ynet news website says that Olmert’s lawyer Eyal Rosovsky sought the meeting in an effort to reach some kind of arrangement that will close all remaining legal avenues against the former PM, and minimize his jail time.
Olmert is one of eight former officials and businessmen convicted in March 2014 in a real estate corruption case known as the Holyland affair, which officials have characterized as the largest in Israel’s history. He is to serve an 18-month jail sentence for that conviction.
