By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS [Israel] [Israeli domestic politics as source of its foreign policy] [post-Annapolis period] [a Sharon going to prison for fraud] [followup] [*******]
The eldest son of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will go to prison next month for illegal fund-raising during his father’s 1999 primary campaign after the Supreme Court rejected his appeal for a more lenient sentence. [***]The court upheld Omri Sharon’s seven-month prison sentence, a court spokeswoman said. Prosecutors say Mr. Sharon, 43, received more than $1.3 million from groups in Israel and overseas, far exceeding legal limits, while he oversaw some fund-raising activities for his father in the 1999 Likud Party primary.
