Attorney Uri Messer, who worked for Ehud Olmert when he was prime minister, was arrested April 6 on charges of fraud and bribery. Several others, including Jerusalem’s former municipal engineer, were also arrested.
The charges involve accepting bribes to advance various construction projects around the city.
It was not immediately clear whether or not the charges against Messer are connected with the cases against Olmert, which are pending trial.
Israeli authorities described the
corruption scandal, which became public on Wednesday, as “one of the worst corruption scandals in Israeli history.” — jta
