Occupied Jerusalem: Israeli police questioned Prime Minister Ehud Olmert for the sixth time on Friday over fraud and bribery allegations, a police spokesman said.
The prime minister is suspected of taking bribes from an American businessman and of making false travel expense claims.
Olmert has faced numerous investigations into his financial affairs ever since he stepped into politics in 1993.
His centrist Kadima party votes in a leadership election on September 17, and Olmert has said he would resign once a successor is chosen.
