    Olmert to be Questioned in Bank Leumi Scandal

    Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was summoned Wednesday for questioning by investigators probing the Bank Leumi privatization scandal.

    Olmert is suspected of using his influence as then-acting Finance Minister to help two friends purchase shares in the bank when the tender was issued.

    The two businessmen later pulled out of the negotiations.
