Indictment drafted for Israeli president: Media

Jerusalem, Oct 17: Prosecutors have begun to draft a charge sheet against Israeli President Moshe Katsav after police said they had evidence he committed rape, Israeli media reported today.

Army Radio reported that the state attorney-general, Menachem Mazuz, is likely to decide within two weeks to press charges against Katsav, who is under growing pressure to resign over the scandal involving female employees.

Katsav has denied any wrongdoing.
