Israel’s former prime minister Ehud Olmert is to go to prison in February for his role in a bribery scandal after the country’s supreme court reduced his sentence from six years to 18 months.The court partially accepted his appeal and cleared the ex-premier of the main bribery charge but upheld part of his conviction for taking a lesser bribe.When Olmert enters jail on 15 February he will become the first Israeli leader to be behind bars.Olmert, 70, was convicted in March 2014 and sentenced to six years in a wide-ranging case in which he was accused of accepting bribes to promote a controversial real-estate project in Jerusalem. He was charged for acts that happened while he was mayor of Jerusalem and the country’s trade minister, years before he became prime minister in 2006.Olmert has denied any wrongdoing and was allowed to stay out of prison until the verdict on his appeal was delivered.After Tuesday’s verdict, Olmert said he was satisfied with his partial exoneration. He added it was still a hard day but he said he accepted the court’s ruling. - See more at: http://www.tajavdo.com/videos/former-israeli-pms-jail-term-cut-to-18-months/#sthash.j8J0CJc4.dpuf
