A court in the Occupied Territories has fined former Zionist Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and sentenced him for a one-year suspended prison after he was convicted of breach of public trust in the Investment Center Affair.

Olmert was fined 75,000 shekels on Monday (about $19,000) by the so-called” Israel's Jerusalem District Court”.

Meanwhile, member of Zionist Knesset Ayre Eldad, who heads the anti-corruption lobby, called the suspended sentence ‘ridiculous’, and said it wouldn’t change the fact that the former prime minister will always live in shame.
 
Olmert was convicted of breach of trust in July on a series of charges, such as allocating government contracts to one of his friend's associates. The charges are related to the time when he served as the mayor of Jerusalem and held several cabinet posts from 2002 to 2006.

According to the Zionist law, the suspension of the prison sentence means that Olmert will not be jailed unless he commits the same crime within three years.
