Attorney-General Yehuda Weinstein was investigating recent complaints that a senior minister allegedly committed sexual offenses years ago against a woman he worked with, Israeli media reported Sunday night. Weinstein launched a probe to check the credibility of the allegations and whether the statue of limitations applies. According to Channel 2, the alleged offenses occurred 15 years old. 'This is a political assassination,' Channel 2 quoted the unnamed minister as saying in response to the accusations. 'I have no idea what they're talking about, I have never heard this woman's name in my life.' Depending on Weinstein's findings from the preliminary investigation, he will then decide whether to launch a criminal investigation of the minister.
