Parole board to rule on ex-PM Olmert’s early release next week

A parole board says it will announce next Thursday, June 29, whether it will grant the early release of jailed former prime minister Ehud Olmert.

Olmert, who is serving a 27-month sentence for various corruption convictions, is seeking to have a third of his sentence cut off.

The announcement comes days after the State Prosecutor’s Office asked police to open a criminal investigation into Olmert over his alleged divulging of sensitive information in the memoirs he is writing.
