Olmert Facing New Accusations of Corruption

This continuing farce would be comical if it wasn't actually an indictment of the Israeli public in its duty to remove this scoundrel:

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is facing yet another corruption accusation, this time by State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss.

In a report released Monday, Lindenstrauss charged that Olmert used his influence when he was Minister of Labor, Industry and Trade to obtain NIS 7.67 million of government aid for an associate's businesses between 2000 and 2005. Rahamim Ben-Shushan, an activist in the Likud party's Central Committee, was given Ministry financial assistance for four factories operated by his Marina Group.
