Olmert pleads guilty to obstruction of justice
- 8 years ago
Ex-prime minister Ehud Olmert on Tuesday admitted to two counts of obstruction of justice as part of a plea deal after a years-long legal saga.
The Jerusalem Magistrates Court judge convicted Olmert on both counts.
It was the first time that Olmert admitted to wrongdoing in any of the cases against him.
The sentence established by the plea deal is six months imprisonment to be served concurrently with his sentence for his role in the Holyland affair.
Olmert is also to receive a NIS 50,000 fine.
However, the court is not expected to declare whether it accepts the sentence until February 10.
