Justice Minister Meets Bitar over Alleged Threat by Safa
Justice Minister Henri Khoury met Wednesday at the Ministry with Judge Tarek Bitar, the lead investigative judge into the Beirut port blast catastrophe.
A statement issued by Khoury’s office said the Minister “exclusively asked him about what media outlets have been circulating since yesterday about his personal security.”
“Minister Khoury will follow up on this issue with the relevant judicial authorities to take the necessary measures,” the statement added.
LBCI TV reporter Edmond Sassine on Tuesday posted a tweet alleging that senior Hizbullah official Wafiq Safa has threatened Bitar through a third person.
"We're totally fed up with you. We will go with you until the end in the legal course and if it doesn't work out we will uproot you," Sassine quoted Safa as telling Bitar through a third person.
