OLMERT'S ILLEGAL GRANTS TO ASSOCIATE

In a report that touches on the fourth investigation so far of Ehud Olmert's corruption:

(IsraelNN.com) State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss has accused Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of using his influence as Minister of Trade, Industry, and Labor to obtain NIS 7.67 million in grants for an associate between 2000 and 2005. Rahamim Ben Shushan, an activist in Likud’s central committee, was given grants that were not in line with government guidelines, Lindenstrauss charged.

The grants given to Ben Shushan were reportedly given with help from Oved Yechezkel and Raanan Dinor. Yechezkel currently serves as Olmert’s senior advisor, while Dinor is now the director-general of the Prime Minister’s Office.

It's against regulations to provide jobs to people who participate in illegal activities, and Dinor should be investigated too.
