Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's former strategic adviser David Spector lashed out at Sharon and his personal adviser Dov Weisglass Wednesday, claiming they were involved in all the illegal financial transactions for which the prime minister's son Omri was convicted Tuesday.

Spector, who worked with the PM during his election campaign in 1999, charged in interview to Army Radio Wednesday that not only were the PM and his adviser part of the illegal actions that took place during the campaign, but also that then-Attorney General Elyakim Rubinstein chose to overlook evidence in the case and hold only the PM's son accountable for the offenses.

 

"I did not work for Omri Sharon, I worked for Arik Sharon. The fact that the attorney general for some reason chose not to submit an indictment against him shows disrespect for the public's intelligence. Everybody knows Sharon was responsible," Spector said.

 

'Last check signed by PM'

 

Omri Sharon is going to pay a dear price he should not pay, he added.

 

According to the former adviser, the PM's close associate and adviser Weisglass "was aware of all the payments… and I'm not talking about the figures listed in the indictment, but much higher sums."

 

"If I may remind you, the last check I received from the Sharons was signed by Arik," Spector concluded.

 

The prime minister's office refused to comment on Spector's allegations, and said they were "unworthy of a response."
