Former Kadima PM Ehud Olmert imprisoned for corruption

Ehud Olmert, who led Kadima and served as prime minister 2006–2009, became the first Israeli head of government to be imprisoned when he entered Maasiyahu Prison on 15 February 2016 to serve a sentence for bribery (the Holyland affair) and obstruction of justice. He had resigned the premiership in 2008–09 as the corruption investigations mounted.
