Former Israeli premier Olmert to stand trial

<snip>

"Israel's justice ministry says the corruption trial of former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will begin on Sept. 29 in Jerusalem.

Olmert was indicted last month for illegally accepting funds from an American supporter and double-billing Jewish groups for trips abroad. Olmert has denied any wrongdoing.

The charges, stemming from when he was Jerusalem's mayor and later as a Cabinet minister, emerged when Olmert was still prime minister. He eventually resigned the premiership, to which he was elected in 2006.

The 63-year-old Olmert left politics when Benjamin Netanyahu became prime minister last March."
