“Talansky transferred money to Olmert for personal use, and not just for campaign expenses,” the official said.
Olmert has claimed that the stream of cash envelopes he received from Talansky over a period of years was used to fund election campaigns, and to cover campaign deficits - but his assertion is now openly being challenged by police.
The charge of “personal use of funds” was tantamount to an allegation of bribery, a second source said, suggesting that the police was softening its terminology to maintain a cautious approach.”

Let me explain something about Israel. Israel is a corrupt country, no different from most countries in the world. They all take money from murky sources, they all do shady things. In this country, police investigations are used as a weapon & when someone is singled out for prosecution out of all the other corrupt people, it is because they p*ssed off the wrong person.
