A UK security team found a listening device in the personal lavatory of then-foreign secretary Boris Johnson back in 2017, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used the facility, the former British politician has reportedly claimed in his memoir.
The incident allegedly occurred at the British Foreign Office, which, according to Johnson, has a bathroom similar to “the gents in a posh London club,”located in a “secret annex” used by the foreign secretary, as reported by The Telegraph on Thursday. Netanyahu was in the building on an official visit, and apparently made a toilet trip while there.
“Thither Bibi repaired for a while, and it may or may not be a coincidence but I am told that later, when they were doing a regular sweep for bugs, they found a listening device in the thunderbox,” Johnson wrote.
