Rivlin shortens Olmert sentence to time served, freeing him to travel abroad
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePresident Reuven Rivlin grants former prime minister Ehud Olmert an effective pardon by shortening his sentence to time served, thereby releasing him from parole restrictions imposed after his early release from prison on Sunday.
Olmert served 16 months of a 27-month sentence for corruption.
Rivlin’s decision frees Olmert to travel abroad and releases him from the requirement to check in with his local police station twice each month for the next 11 months.
