The State Attorney's Office will seek five years in prison as a punishment for former prime minister Ehud Olmert when his sentencing hearing begins next week, Channel 2 reported on Thursday.

Olmert was convicted of taking bribes in the Holyland real estate trial last month.

His sentencing hearing was set to begin Monday April 28.
