Sharon quizzed on allegations of bribery

ISRAELI Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was questioned for more than two hours yesterday by police over allegations that he took a bribe.

The interrogation at the premier’s official residence in Jerusalem was led by the head of the serious-crimes unit, said police spokesman Gil Kleiman.

“The prime minister co-operated fully. This was a summing up interview, meant to fill in the gaps and round out previous interviews,” Mr Kleiman said, adding that no further questioning of Sharon is planned.
