‘Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has began serving a 19-month prison sentence over financial corruption, making him the first Israeli premier to be jailed.

Olmert on Monday went to the Maasiyahu prison in central Israel to start the sentence that was handed to him in March 2014 over bribery and obstruction of justice.

Before walking into prison, Olmert published a video in which he again denied any wrongdoing in the bribery conviction against him. The three and a half minute video was reportedly shot in his residence and was released by his office.’
