JERUSALEM — Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was indicted Sunday in a corruption scandal that led to his resignation last year and set the stage for a rightward shift in Israeli politics.
Prosecutors alleged that Olmert, while mayor of Jerusalem in the 1990s and later as trade minister, profited from a double-billing scheme in which he charged charities and the government for trips and expenses already paid by other organizations.
A spokesman told local media Sunday that Olmert, 63, expected to be exonerated.
