14Peacenow discovered 21 months ago- Olmert faces bribery allegations Israel's attorney-general is investigating allegations that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert accepted bribes as acting finance minister last year. The allegations - on an Israeli website - say he took the bribes during a major bank privatisation deal. Mr Olmert denies any wrongdoing. He faces several corruption inquiries, but no formal charges have been filed. This is the latest in a series of allegations of wrongdoing by senior political figures in Israel. "At this stage no decisions have been taken, no criminal procedure is being taken [against Mr Olmert] and Israel's police is not involved in the issue," the justice ministry said in a statement. The President, Moshe Katsav, is being investigated over allegations of sexual harassment, while former Justice Minister, Haim Ramon, and a former Environment Minister, Tzahi Hanegbi, are both facing charges for misconduct. All have denied doing anything improper.
