What are presented as nude photos of Likud MK Hanoch Milwidsky were sent from an anonymous email address to several lawmakers’ bureaus in the Knesset, according to Hebrew media reports.
Milwidsky says that the images and accompanying correspondence are fabricated and had previously been circulated to many of his acquaintances two years ago in an effort to cause him damage.
The Knesset IT department is said to have removed the content from the legislature’s network.
