Talansky testifies in Olmert corruption case in Jerusalem

US millionaire financier Morris Talansky (R) has a microphone attached as he takes his place on the stand in the court in Jerusalem on May 27, 2008. Talansky, chief witness in the investigation of alleged corruption by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, will be questioned under oath before a judge. Prosecutors are trying to establish whether Olmert dispensed any favours in exchange for large sums of cash he allegedly received illegally from Talansky during the 13 years before he became prime minister in 2006.
