NY Post: May 6, 2008 -- A Long Island mogul is at the center of a sensational bribery scandal that could bring down embattled Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, The Post has learned.
Millionaire financier Morris Talansky - who runs an investment firm out of his tony home in Woodmere - allegedly passed money to Olmert while the politician was mayor of Jerusalem in the '90s, sources said.
In a highly unusual move, Israeli authorities have barred the country's media from publishing Talansky's name - revealed now in The Post - saying it could hamper their investigation. Israeli media has referred only to the involvement of an "American businessman."

I'm sure the Post is really scared of the Israeli gag order :-)
ReplyDeleteI do believe that the manure and the fan might just meet each other this time. Couldn't happen to a "nicer" guy.
ReplyDeleteJameel - Hehe. Though in theory they could not let the Post in the country, no?

ReplyDeleteProfK - I meant the reporters.
ReplyDeleteSo Olmert is out....now what? His corrupt cronies continue with his policy of kowtowing to America and the Israeli leftist academics...still leaves the people of Israel (and Jews around the world who care about Israel) no better off than before. I think it's great that this !@#$ bag will finally be out, but then what?
