Attorney Uri Messer may testify as a state witness against Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, and gain immunity from prosecution in return, the State Attorney told a Jerusalem court.
The State Prosecutor Moshe Lador said: "We weighed the material in our possession at this point in time, and based on it we can cautiously estimate that if charges are pressed, they will be against the two respondents before us [Olmert and Zaken] and perhaps separately against Attorney Messer, because of the content of Attorney Messer's testimony in the interrogation, he may be a prosecution witness against respondent 1."
Lador appeared before the court on May 6, and the minutes of the session were partially allowed for publication Wednesday.
