Police Question Sharon About Corruption

[bluesoul]

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news - web sites) was questioned by police Thursday in two corruption investigations, Israeli media reported.

Sharon, the third sitting prime minister to be investigated by police, has denied wrongdoing.

One probe involves a $1.5 million loan from a South African businessman to Sharon's two sons, allegedly used to cover illegal contributions to his 1999 election campaign.

In the second case, police are looking into a business deal between Sharon's younger son, Gilad, and businessman David Appel, who has ties to Sharon's Likud party.
