Former MK and deputy minister Michael Ratzon is the subject of a police
investigation after a number of employees submitted sexual harassment complaints
against him, it emerged on Sunday.
The allegations were made by a number
of employees of NTA - Metropolitan Mass Transit System Ltd, where Ratzon serves
as chairman.
A report on Ynet, which broke the story, stated that the
allegations involve verbal harassment, and at least one case of physical abuse
of some sort.
Ratzon denied the claims outright in a 400 word statement
put out on Sunday, calling them part of a “planned, organized, and baseless
attack” meant to destroy his reputation.
