PM Olmert Faces More Interrogation in Corruption Probe

 

by KYW middle east bureau chief Jay Bushinsky
 
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is due to go through a sixth round of interrogation by the Israeli police.

It will focus on his financial dealings with Morris Talansky, from whom he received more than $100,000 in cash. This came up in testimony by the New York businessman before a Jerusalem court. 

Talansky was scheduled to return for further cross-examination by Olmert's attorneys August 31st, but changed his mind for fear it might incriminate him under American law. 

The state prosecutors reportedly are seeking an immunity deal that might bring Talansky back to the stand.
