Police suspect Lieberman used Cypriot bank accounts registered in his daughter's name for money laundering and fraud.

In a late January raid, police officers from the National Fraud Unit and the Lahav 433 anti-organized crime unit arrested Lieberman's daughter Michal, together with Lieberman's former attorney, Yoav Mani, and five other suspects.
