Police seek indictment of ex-Netanyahu aide

Police began the investigation late last month after receiving the go-ahead from Arbel. Lieberman was questioned on April 27 for four hours about suspected threats and insults he made against senior police officers during a meeting with Yisrael Beiteinu staffers in early April.

At the meeting, he allegedly called police officers anti-Semites and racists and charged that they deliberately leaked information for political reasons.

Police said Lieberman was uncooperative during the questioning and evaded investigators' questions.

Lieberman's response to the investigation was to lodge a complaint with the Justice Ministry's police investigations division. He charged heads of the national investigations unit, Cmdr. Yossi Sedbon and Dep.-Cmdr. Moshe Mizrahi, were abusing their positions and were intent on settling a score with him because of statements he made against the police in the past.

Lieberman blasted the police for their move, calling it the most political investigation that has ever been carried out. "It is also no coincidence that the police decided to announce its recommendations a week before the elections," Lieberman said.
