الجميل يعلن انشاء "المرصد اللبناني للفساد" ويضع ثقته بالقضاء: لتنفيذ خطة شهيب

@redshield. The Book of FPM is partisan. It is talking about corruption of the rival party and therefore is by definition biased. Now there are many cases of corruption of FPM officials and notably Gebran Bassil. The best way to go is indeed to file lawsuits with the judiciary and let the court does an unbiased investigation ; if this is possible in this country!

Does this include his father, Mr. 8%?

It is not only the others but he should first start by cleaning infront of his doorstep.

Bravo Sami Gamayel - lets investigate corruption.
You should insist that the first case to be heard is none other than the Puma Helicopter scandal, or was that before your time?

Why Was the Puma Deal a Scandal
Friday, September 27, 2002 5:10 PM
Lebanon and France concluded a deal in 1983 under which six French-made Puma helicopters were to be provided to the Lebanese air force at a total cost of 184 million francs, a rough equivalent of $80 million at the time.
The deal was signed in Beirut in July of that year by Lebanese Defense Minister Issam Khoury and the Societe Francaise de Vente et Financement de Materiels Terrestres et Maritimes (SOFRANTEM).
SOFRANTEM was set up at the time to act as an intermediary between the Lebanese and French governments in order to bypass commission-seeking local dealers in the two countries and to give the deal a country-to-country veneer.

The deal stipulated for six Puma helicopters manufactured by France's Aerospatiale firm be made available to Lebanon at 27 million francs apiece with a total of 25 million francs for spare parts. France granted Lebanon an 850 million franc loan to conclude the deal.

But the Lebanese government found out that the Pumas it received were manufactured in Romania rather than France and sold. Consequently, the two governments launched separate probes to determine how the trick was carried out and how much money was involved in kickbacks.

Neither probe was conclusive and the unsettled French loan accumulated 194 million extra francs in interest. The resulting money quarrel between the two countries has not been settled yet although it had lost much of its steam after Prime Minister Hariri took office in 1992.

Gemayel has denied all along that he had anything to do with the Puma deal.
