إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil referred to the General Prosecution on Monday a file on the introduction of spoiled frozen shrimp to the Lebanese market.

The General Prosecution will tackle how the products entered the market and the squandering of public funds through dodging customs fees.

The frozen shrimp entered Beirut port on June 28, 2013.

Khalil demanded that officials investigate this case with customs agents, “who did not perform their role properly or were complicit in covering up this operation.”

In addition, he called for carrying out an internal investigation at the customs administration to uncover those involved and responsible for the case.

The referral of the case to the General Prosecution is part of a major campaign launched by Khalil to uncover violations at the Beirut Port and Rafik Hariri International Airport.

On January 5, he announced that authorities had seized radioactive and poisonous material at the two facilities.

Customs officials revealed to OTV the importers of the spoiled frozen shrimps are prominent members of the iranian sectarian terrorist militia with varied business activities. The importers use political cover and bribery to import expired and radioactive foods and in turn sell them to impoverished areas and Syrian refugees.
Judicial sources close to the matter further confirmed these irresponsible sectarians have been under surveillance for some time now and an arrest warrant is imminent.
Hezbullah is an international terrorist organization with confirmed links to money laundering, illegal drug trade, human and organ trafficking, and terror activities against densely populated civilian areas.

how do you know it is shia? Your remark is utterly sectarian. What we can be sure of is that money and corruption are ruling this country.
