JERUSALEM, April 14 (UPI) -- Israeli Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein informed Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman of plans to indict him for fraud and other alleged wrongdoing.
Weinstein said he plans to file an indictment for fraud, breach of trust, money-laundering and witness harassment, Channel Ten reported late Wednesday.
Weinstein announced his decision as Lieberman convened a meeting of the Israel Beitenu Party in Jerusalem.
"I have always acted according to the law, and I have no reason to worry," Lieberman said in response to Weinstein's announcement, The Jerusalem Post reported.
"After 15 years, I will finally have a chance to prove that I always acted according to the law -- as you know -- with me, my word is my bond," he said.
Lieberman said he planned to prepare for a hearing and if found guilty would resign from his position, Channel Ten said.
