The Israeli Supreme Court has ordered Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's son to hand over documents critical to investigating corruption scandals.
The decision comes a day after Israel's chief prosecutor officially recommended that Ariel Sharon be indicted in a case that centres on alleged payments from a land developer to his son Gilad for advice on a never-completed project to build a Greek resort.
In the other case, prosecutors believe Mr Sharon's two sons used a $1.5m loan from a South African businessman as collateral to repay alleged illicit contributions to a Sharon election campaign.
Foreign funding of political campaigns is illegal in Israel.
Gilad Sharon, whom prosecutors said was in control of the documents, will comply with the high court decision, his lawyer said.
Attorney General Menachem Mazuz will have the final say on whether to indict the 76-year-old Prime Minister. Justice Ministry sources said it could take up to two months for him to rule in the Greek island affair.
