"Maryland State Senator Dalya Attar (D) was indicted on charges stemming from an alleged scheme to blackmail individuals she felt would compromise her campaign. News of the indictments was reported Thursday by The Baltimore Sun. According to the report, they were handed down a week ago. Federal authorities alleged that Attar the first Orthodox Jewish woman to serve in the Maryland State Senate was part of a plot that involved planting tracking and recording devices to obtain footage of two unnamed individuals in bed."
"In total, Attar was indicted on eight charges. Co-defendants listed in the indictments include Joseph Attar and Kalman Finkelstein. The Joseph Attar mentioned is presumed to be her brother, who works as a real estate developer. Court filings obtained by The Baltimore Sun revealed that all three were in custody at the time of writing. Attar has been in the Maryland State Senate since occupying a vacant seat in January 2025."
