Olmert prosecutors won't show evidence

JERUSALEM, July 13 (UPI) -- Israeli prosecutors say they won't yet allow attorneys for Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to see their corruption evidence against him.

The prosecutors made the announcement Sunday, saying they will wait until after this week's cross-examination of a key witness, U.S. businessman Morris Talansky, to turn over the evidence, the Israeli newspaper Haartez reported.

The newspaper said the announcement came after Olmert's attorneys asked the Jerusalem District Court to allow them to review the materials. Olmert attorney Eli Zohar said the move means he won't be able to conclude Talansky's cross examination on time and would have to summon the witness a second time.

Prosecutors say Olmert illegally received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Talansky, a Jewish American businessman, over a 15-year period.
