An interim legal report issued in Israel today has found that prosecutors lack enough evidence to charge Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in a bribery scandal.
Israel's Channel Two television news quoted the report from a panel appointed by Attorney-General Menachem Mazuz.
The so-called "Greek Island Affair" centres on bribery charges brought against an Israeli businessman.
Prosecutors said he hired Sharon 's son, Gilad in 1999 and paid him large sums to persuade his father, then foreign minister, to promote real estate deals, including a Greek island resort.
