Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has been questioned by police for the first time since stepping down to answer corruption charges. He was questioned over his alleged involvement in a giant real estate deal in Jerusalem when he was the city's mayor. According to police, bribes were given to officials over the development of a giant hotel and apartment building. Mr Olmert has called the investigation a witch hunt and denied all the allegations made against him. The former Prime Minister was plagued by multiple corruption scandals while serving as Prime Minister between 2006 and 2009 and has so far been indicted over three separate cases. Police have closed two others.
