Israeli Police Recommend Indictment of Lieberman
Far right Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman is probably going to be indicted on bribery and fraud charges: Israeli Police Recommend Indictment of Foreign Minister.
JERUSALEM, Aug. 2 — Israeli police Sunday recommended that the state indict Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on charges of bribery, fraud, money laundering, witness harassment and obstruction of justice.
A spokesman for the Justice Ministry said the file now moves to the state prosecutor’s office and then to attorney General Menachem Mazuz who must approve the recommendation before Lieberman is formally indicted. That process could take weeks or even months. If the foreign minister is indicted he will have to resign, according to Israeli law.
