JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli police are likely to recommend on Sunday indicting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on corruption charges, Israeli media reported on Thursday.

A police source declined to comment on what investigators would advise the state prosecution. But he said police would announce their recommendations in the long-running case "within the next few days".

With Olmert committed to resigning after his Kadima party holds a leadership election on September 17, a police recommendation to bring charges against him will have no immediate impact on his tenure and does not guarantee an indictment will be filed.
