The singer passed away in hospital after being injected with a fatal dose of propofol on June 25, 2009.
La Toya told GMTV: "I never had a doubt. You must remember from the day that I found out that Michael was no longer with us, when my mother screamed 'he's dead' on the phone, I just went into this, 'Who did it?'.
"Michael was murdered for his catalogue - that's the bottom line. He was murdered for his catalogue and they knew that, and they knew Michael was much more, worth so much more dead than alive."
She added: "His children deserve the truth. I think his parents deserve the truth, his family and his fans. Personally I think it is a slap in the face, not just to Michael but to the entire family. It's totally unfair, it's wrong and it was not an accident."
Earlier this week, Billboard magazine estimated that Michael's estate has raised approximately $1 billion (£670 million) since his death.
