By Jonathan Lis, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Ehud Olmert, Corruption 

Police will question Prime Minister Ehud Olmert for a second time on Friday, a police spokesman said, as part of a corruption investigation that could force him from office.

The prime minister was first questioned by police Olmert on May 2. He is suspected of taking significant sums of money from an American millionaire, Morris (Moshe) Talansky, over an extended period of time.

On Monday, State Prosecutor Moshe Lador said that Talansky personally handed money to Olmert on several occasions.

Lador was speaking at a High Court of Justice hearing on a petition by Olmert and his former bureau chief, Shula Zaken, against the Jerusalem District Court's decision to depose Talansky even before any indictment is filed.
