JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Israeli investigators say they suspect Prime Minister Ehud Olmert asked multiple public organizations to cover single expense claims and pocketed the extra money when he was Jerusalem mayor and a government minister.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has repeatedly denied any corruption.
Israeli police and the Justice Ministry released a statement Friday saying they suspect Olmert received funding for trips "from a number of bodies that engage in public activity at the same time, including the state, when each body was asked separately to finance the same flight," and that "significant sums" ended up in a private account for Olmert.
The allegations are part of an ongoing corruption probe, the latest in a series of investigations focusing on Olmert. While corruption allegations have damaged his political support, he has never been convicted of wrongdoing.
Olmert had no immediate response to Friday's statement, but has repeatedly denied any corruption.
Investigators interrogated Olmert again Friday, and included the latest allegations, according to the statement from police and the justice ministry.
