Sufficient evidence exists to prosecute Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman for corruption and disrupting a police investigation, a report says.

Lieberman is suspected of money laundering, breaching public trust, fraudulent receipt of goods, and interrupting the course of an investigation against him, Israeli police investigators said on Tuesday.

National Fraud Unit officials met with Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz on Tuesday night to discuss the lengthy corruption investigation and presented their findings to him, the Jerusalem Post reported.

In March, some Israeli groups opposed his appointment as foreign minister by then prime minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of corruption.

Even when questioned by the police before, Lieberman denied any wrongdoing in the ongoing cases and insisted that the probe was politically motivated.

A senior Justice Ministry official told local news service Ynet that the investigation was not over yet, and the meeting focused on the steps needed to conclude the investigation as soon as possible.
