Shula Zaken, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert�s longtime assistance and former bureau chief will testify against him, Channel 2 News reported on Wednesday night.

Zaken�s attorney, Micha Pattman released a statement denying the accuracy of the report. Ynet reports that justice ministry sources also deny the report.

Channel 2 reported that Zaken cut a deal with the state to give testimony against Olmert in exchange for immunity and closing the case against her for her role in illegal activities as Olmert�s aide.

Zaken has been at Olmert�s side for over 30 years, his personal assistant at every stage of his career.
