Police probing fund transfer to Sharon family business

By Amir Oren, Haaretz Correspondent



The police reopened at the end of last week an investigation by the National Serious & International Crimes Unit (NSICU) into a deal between the Hachsharat Hayishuv company and the Sycamore Ranch owned by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's sons.




Sources familiar with the case said it concerns a transfer about five years ago of some NIS 1.3 million from Hachsharat Hayishuv, controlled by the Nimrodi family, to the Sharon family. The probe was resumed after being put on hold six months ago by the State Prosecutor's Office.

In May 1999, Hachsharat Hayishuv acquired a 42-month option to buy the S.P. Hanegev company, which is partially owned by the prime minister's son Gilad. In return, the company paid NIS 1.3 million. At the end of that period, in November 2002, Hachsharat Hayishuv decided not to exercise the option and to leave the money with the Sharon family. Word of the deal reached the police and State Prosecutor from various sources, including box loads of documents submitted by Gilad Sharon under court order in the Greek island case.
