Ex-Minister Lieberman's daughter to be probed over suspected fraud
By Jonathan Lis, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Israel, Michal Lieberman 

Michal Lieberman, the daughter of former strategic affairs minister Avigdor Lieberman, will Thursday be interrogated over her father's dealings by the National Police Fraud Investigations Unit, Channel 2 reported Wednesday.

Michal Lieberman is expected to be questioned under caution over allegedly mediating in bribe-taking, as part of an ongoing investigation into Avigdor Lieberman's affairs.

In April last year, Haaretz reported that Michal Lieberman founded a company called M.L.1, which since then has brought in international investments worth millions of shekels.

In the first five months following its establishment in 2004, M.L.1's profits stood at NIS 1.8 million. Avigdor Lieberman allegedly received from the company NIS 600,000 in wages during that period, while his daughter and two other employees were paid a much lower salary.

The company was founded when Avigdor Lieberman was neither MK nor a minister, but it remained active after the 2006 elections in which he won a seat in the Knesset as chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu and later joined the government as a minister.

Lieberman resigned Wednesday from the Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's coalition, saying his rightist party would not tolerate negotiations with the Palestinian Authority on the core issues of the conflict.
