Sharon's son to stand trial

An indictment against Knesset (parliament) member Omri Sharon, son of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, was submitted Sunday morning at the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court. According to the indictment, between July 1999 and Feb. 2000, Omri received monies from various corporations in Israel and overseas, totaling more than 6 million shekels (about 1.3 million US dollars), for his father's campaign in the 1999 primaries for the Likud leadership -- far exceeding limits set by the Parties Law.
