Israel's new Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, has been questioned by police for at least seven hours over corruption allegations.

Police said Mr Lieberman was questioned under caution on suspicion of "bribery, money-laundering and breach of trust" as part of an ongoing investigation.

Mr Lieberman was sworn in as foreign minister on Tuesday.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said Mr Lieberman had been questioned over the long-standing investigation into his business dealings, the Associated Press reported.
