The World - News from Oct. 29, 1985

Samuel Flatto-Sharon, an Israeli financier and former member of Parliament wanted for tax offenses in France, has been arrested in Italy, police in Milan reported. An Italian court will decide whether to extradite him to France, where he was sentenced in absentia in 1979 on a charge of evading $92 million in taxes. For a time, Flatto-Sharon evaded French efforts to try him by winning a seat in the Israeli Parliament, thus gaining immunity. But he lost the immunity when an Israeli court convicted him of bribery in 1981.
