The police will look into tapes in which Ehud Olmert claims Ehud Barak took bribes when defense minister.

The State Prosecutor's Office has presented the Attorney General with the transcripts of conversations allegedly taped by Shula Zaken, the bureau chief of Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. In one of the conversations Olmert mentions that Ehud Barak, who served as his Defense Minister, received favors as a publicly elected representative. The recordings were made without Olmert's knowledge.

The Attorney General has decided that Israel Police should investigate the charges.
