Fadlallah Files Complaint against Illegal Profiteers, Demands Recovery of Stolen Public Assets
Member of the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc, MP Hassan Fadlallah, filed Friday a complaint to the judiciary asking it to hold accountable those involved in monopolization, price manipulation and smuggling.
Fadlallah had given a speech in Parliament in which he demanded a financial audit of the accounts of companies importing fuel, medicines, and vital goods. He also demanded an audit of the accounts of distribution companies and big traders.
He re-included his demands in the complaint, asking for an audit that reveals “the size of illegal profits made by monopolization, price manipulation and smuggling.”
“The culprit companies must be held accountable and the stolen public assets must be recovered,” Fadlallah said.
He claimed that these companies have benefitted from public assets received from the central bank as subsidies by selling goods at higher prices.
“The subsidies should have been for the citizens’ benefit but a part of this public money has been stolen by companies and traders illegally,” Fadlallah said in his complaint.
