OLMERT NOW FACES THREE CRIMINAL PROBES

Yes, that's right, THREE criminal investigations! It's a very serious blow to his career that he's been asking for. Here's some more:
Israel's attorney-general has ordered a third police investigation into political appointments made by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

The investigation deals a fresh blow to the beleaguered politician who already faces two police probes, one possibly involving Australian billionaire Frank Lowy.

Attorney-General Menachem Mazuz instructed police to launch a criminal probe over suspicions pertaining to "political appointments and assisting political cronies in different public bodies during his (Olmert's) office as trade and industry minister" in 2005, a justice ministry statement said.
Following this, there have already been calls for Olmert to step down. He'd be advised to do so and save himself the further damage.
