Catherine Perez-Shakdam's Engagement with Iran

The aftermath of her revelations included accusations from an Iranian former MP, Mostafa Kavakebian, who claimed she had sexual relations with 120 senior Iranian officials to gain access. These sensational allegations, however, were denied by Perez-Shakdam and deemed "unsupported claims" by Tehran's prosecutor, who filed criminal charges against Kavakebian for disturbing public opinion. Iranian security and judicial bodies have also explicitly stated that no documents or reports indicate immoral behavior or illegal activities by Shakdam during her time in Iran.
