Lieberman faces charges of fraud and breach of trust in Jerusalem

The Israeli former Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman faced on Thursday charges of fraud and breach of trust in Jerusalem.

Lieberman pleaded, at his first hearing on February 17, not guilty in a decisive trial that will shape his political future.

Lieberman is suspected of attempting to grant the Israeli diplomat Zeev Ben Aryeh, who gave him confidential information about a police investigation, an ambassadorial posting, noting that the incident took place when Lieberman was a Deputy in 2008.

The case is being heard at the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court by three judges.

As soon as Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein announced that he intends to charge Lieberman, he left office immediately though he still holds the status of MP and head of the hardline Yisrael Beitenu party.

Lieberman voiced confidence that he will be cleared of all charges and will return to the Foreign Ministry.
