Likud lawmaker Hanoch Milwidsky was questioned by police on Friday as a suspect in a sexual offenses investigation. The probe, conducted by the major crimes unit, has been ongoing since 2022 and involves testimony from several individuals, including Milwidsky. Police also detained two others on suspicion of obstruction of justice, with the alleged offenses said to have occurred before Milwidsky's election to the Knesset. Milwidsky has denied the accusations, claiming political persecution, and has previously faced allegations of sexual assault, though no charges have been filed to date. The investigation comes as Milwidsky was recently nominated to head the Knesset Finance Committee, a move he suggests may be linked to the timing of the police action.
