Member of the Democratic Gathering, MP Wael Abu Faour said Wednesday in a statement that “the Higher Defense Council refused to grant permission to prosecute Director of State Security Major General (Tony) Saliba, because the latter might expose all the correspondences with the presidential palace.”
“As expected,” he said, adding that “the reason why the permission to prosecute Saliba wasn’t granted is clear.”
Abu Faour claimed that Saliba may expose “all deliberations and correspondences with the Presidential Palace and its senior military advisors, up to the President.”
He went on to say that Saliba had explained the real dangers of the port’s ammonium nitrate to everyone in the palace, “and of course, no action was taken.”
Abu Faour stressed that “justice should be complete and uncompromised.”
“The investigation and accountability must include everyone,” he said.
