Israel has some of the best/worst politicians money can buy - but it is not shy about putting them in jail. A previous PM (Olmert) spent time in jail, as did a previous president (Katzav, this is a ceremonial job, with queen-of-england style responsibilities) and quite a few ministers.

  Yup. The current minister of interior has already been in jail once, for offenses committed as the minister of interior (10 years or so ago).
