The former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has been indicted in three corruption cases, the attorney general's office says, BBC reported.

Mr Olmert has been embroiled in a number of corruption scandals but denies any wrongdoing in all the cases.

The former head of the Kadima party was replaced as prime minister by Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu following general elections in February.

The series of probes was a key factor in Mr Olmert's resignation.
