Israeli police are recommending an indictment against the country's foreign minister on corruption charges, AP reported. The country's attorney general must approve the recommendation before Avigdor Lieberman is formally charged. It could be weeks or months before a decision is made. Police say the investigation began in 2006 and covered events going back to 2000. They are recommending Lieberman be charged with accepting bribes, fraud, breach of trust, money laundering and obstruction of justice. They say the combined maximum sentence for those crimes would be 31 years in prison. Lieberman denies wrongdoing. In a statement released by his office Sunday he maintained that he was the victim of political persecution designed «to cast me out from public activity.»
