Rav Yaakov Ariel, the founder of the Machon HaMikdosh in Jerusalem’s Old City and a senior Torah figure in the Dati Leumi camp, has called on anyone who gave Prime Minister Ehud Olmert bribe money in the past to step forward and assist police in the ongoing investigation. Rav Ariel stated anyone who has information and does not assist is in fact then guilty of assisting in the crime and has violated Torah Law.
Rav Ariel stated he surmises there are many people whom have paid Olmert for one favor or another over the years, and now is the time to step forward. He explained it is a mitzvah to publicly decry and denounce the corruption in government.

People are afraid to stand up and admit that they gave him $$$, it may have smacked of bribery or an indictment can be in the making.
he took my arnona money while he was mayor
If there was a guarantee of immunity of prosecution you would have more people stepping forward.
honestly, how many are necessary? one should be enough to throw him out
