MK Lieberman's daughter, attorney held in money laundering probe
By Jonathan Lis, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Fraud, Israel Elections 

The National Unit for Fraud Investigation on Sunday detained seven people for questioning as part of an investigation into MK Avigdor Lieberman, including Lieberman's daughter Michal and his attorney Yoav Meni.

The police found a series of documents which they say will advance the investigation after conducting searches of the homes of the detained.

The investigation into Lieberman opened two-and-a-half years ago following an expose in Haaretz's Friday supplement in which it was reported that the firebrand Yisrael Beitenu chairman was suspected of money laundering, falsifying of corporation documents and other offences.

The police are expected to request an extension Sunday of the remand of some of the seven people.

Yisrael Beiteinu remains strong in the polls just two-and-a-half weeks out from the general elections.
