Police confirm in a statement that they are investigating a sitting Knesset member on suspicion of sexual offenses, as part of an ongoing probe into Likud MK Hanoch Milwidsky.

The statement does not refer to Milwidsky by name; however, the politician himself announced that he was questioned by police this morning, accusing law enforcement of persecuting right-wing politicians.

Investigators in the police’s Lahav 433 major crimes unit today brought Milwidsky in for questioning under caution, and detained two others on suspicion of obstructing justice. Police now announce that the two have been released under restrictive conditions.

The investigation is ongoing and will be transferred to the State Attorney’s Office for review once it concludes, police add.
