The indictment yesterday of an Israeli real estate mogul could have political implications for Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
Israeli prosecutors say that David Appel paid Ariel Sharon, Sharon's son Gilad, and Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert huge sums of money in exchange for their help with major real estate deals in the 1990s.
