Police is not so sure about Olmert's charges

Olmert’s seventh interrogation centered around the old story of him buying a family house in Jerusalem below the market price. That investigation was previously abandoned because Olmert, then a mayor, did not reciprocate the seller (a contractor) with any illegal privileges but merely expedited his lawful request.
The widening scope of investigations indicates that police fails to bring solid charges against Olmert on Talansky’s affairs and heaps weak charges in the hope of a plea bargain.
