-- Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's eldest son pleaded guilty Tuesday to illegal fund-raising charges stemming from his father's 1999 election campaign, his attorney said.
Omri Sharon and his brother, Gilad, helped their father sweep a 1999 primary in the Likud Party, overseeing parts of the campaign and fund-raising.
Omri Sharon, a member of parliament, admitted to all the charges, but is demanding a light sentence, his attorney, Dan Sheinman, told Israel Radio.
Sharon admitted to falsifying corporate documents, perjury and violating the party funding law. Under a plea deal, prosecutors dropped more serious charges of fraud and breach of trust. (snip/...)
