Lieberman tops Israel corruption index Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:18:03 GMT    Lieberman had been previously indicted on charges of fraud, bribery, money laundering and breach of trust. Opinion polls shows Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman at the top of notorious Tel Aviv officials perceived by the Israeli public as the most corrupt representatives. The opening session of the Israel-Sderot Conference on Social Issues heard on Tuesday the annual corruption index for 2008, which also showed left-wing Knesset members as the most corrupt, Ynet news website reported. The report comes months after the police recommended indicting Lieberman on charges of fraud, bribery, money laundering and breach of trust. Interior Minister Eli Yishai and Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz are seen as the second and the third most corrupt respectively, said the corruption index. Hawkish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Culture and Sports Minister Limor Livnat were also among the most corrupt Israeli officials. Netanyahu's predecessor Ehud Olmert, ranked as one of the most corrupt politicians for years, was not included in this year's survey as he no longer holds an official position. The index is based on a telephone survey by the Maagar Mochot research institute among 555 respondents.
