Beirut Examining Magistrate Ghassan Owaidat issued on Monday arrest warrants in absentia against the sons of the former head of the Higher Relief Council, Ibrahim Bashir, the state-run National News Agency reported.
A warrant was also issued against a third person, Hassan Jaber, involved in the embezzlement of state funds, smuggling and money laundering, NNA said.
The three suspects are not in custody. But Bashir, his wife and two sons, Wissam and Sami, have been charged in the case, the agency added.
Local media reports have said they have embezzled around $10 million in public funds by transferring them to accounts abroad.
The defendants face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

Cool. When is the turn for those who've stolen billions of dollars instead of petty millions? That, ladies and gentlemen, is when the country can be proud of itself. Putting cologne on gangrene doesn't do anything.

M14 was in power and stole, then M8 came to power and stole now M8 and M14 are together in power so together they steal. That is what they call national unity government

Lebanon will remain the land of lost opportunities as long as our greedy politicians are at the helm. We have no one to blame but our stupid selves for voting for them don't we? maybe next elections we remember what they have put Lebanon through.
