Sharon’s son admits to forgery charges
Omri Sharon, a lawmaker and key adviser to his father, had previously said he would argue against charges he set up shell companies to funnel foreign donations to his father’s 1999 race to head the right wing Likud Party.
But Omri Sharon’s attorney said at the opening of his trial in Tel Aviv that he would not contest some of the counts on the indictment as part of a plea bargain with state prosecutors.
