Holyland

Despite differences of opinion, the Right and the Left unite in denouncing Olmert's corruption.

The rise and fall of former prime minister Ehud Olmert will serve as a lesson to younger politicians: corrupt acts not noticed now, they could be found out years later.

Former Jerusalem mayor and ex-Bank Hapoalim chairman among high-profile defendants convicted in "trial of the century."

Legal experts agree that the state is likely to seek several years in prison for Olmert following his conviction in the Holyland affair; the fact that he has served in high government positions may work against him.

Thundering ruling shakes country, Judge also convicts former Jerusalem mayor Uri Lupolianski and 10 out of 13 individual defendants.

Former PM's attorney hints that he will appeal conviction on bribery charges; State: If you take money, you won't escape justice.

The affair involves a wide array of top politicians allegedly receiving bribes to “smooth over” legal and zoning problems for the Holyland residential project in southern Jerusalem.

Olmert's lawyers slam state for plea deal with Zaken; court does not grant state delay request, orders continuation of hearing for Monday.

With a Holyland verdict on the horizon, Ehud Olmert once again faces the end of his career – or redemption; court decision on whether to delay the former premier's verdict is expected late Sunday.

Imagine that after escaping criminal conviction in next week’s Holyland trial verdict, Ehud Olmert relaunches his political career.
