Prosecutors seek criminal investigation into Olmert memoir leaks
The State Prosecutor’s Office asks the police to investigate whether jailed former prime minister Ehud Olmert committed a criminal offense by divulging classified information in his memoirs, bypassing the military censor.
The state is also requesting that Olmert’s Sunday parole board hearing be postponed until after police determine if a criminal offense has been committed.
Earlier today, police raided the offices of the Yedioth Books publishing house in Rishon Lezion in a search for classified material that may have been provided by Olmert.
