GARDEN CITY, N.Y. — A New York-area businessman and philanthropist has emerged as a key figure in an Israeli investigation into financial dealings of Ehud Olmert that have cast a new cloud over the embattled prime minister.
Morris “Moshe” Talansky of Woodmere, Long Island, was questioned by police in Israel about reported payments he made to Olmert in the 1990s, when the prime minister served as Jerusalem’s mayor, according to the New York Post.
An Israeli court has barred publication of most details of the case. Talansky was not available for comment.
