FPM Files Lawsuit over Billions of Dollars Sent Abroad

W460

The Free Patriotic Movement on Thursday filed a lawsuit over “the billion of dollars that were sent abroad in 2019, especially after October 17.”

“As part of the continuation of its battle for recovering the funds that have been smuggled to outside the country and after carrying out several steps towards the central bank and in parliament, MP Ziad Aswad tasked by the FPM and its head Jebran Bassil has filed a lawsuit with State Prosecutor Ghassan Oueidat,” the FPM said in a statement.

The lawsuit relates to “the transfer abroad of billions of dollars in 2019 in a selective manner, especially after October 17,” the FPM added, noting that the transfers have continued to date, which has “burdened the economy and harmed depositors especially small ones.”

Honestly, why didn't they file this a few months ago. It means NOTHING right now.

this is to show the sheep FPM didn't steel the money but others did. If they really cared, they would have lifted the bank secrecy law. All a show nothing more, most likely they were short changed when the steeling was happening and this is a way to get what they were short changed... Lebanon is a failed state...

FPM are really a funny bunch. I love when they argue that they spent 15 years in exile so they are entitled to this post or that post. Probably were living in luxury in France during those 15 years.
