INL and FBI Provide Counter Public Corruption Training for ISF Members and Judges

W460

In collaboration with the FBI, the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut has conducted a training on countering public corruption at the Internal Security Forces (ISF) academy in Aramoun, the Embassy said on Wednesday.

"Twenty-four ISF members and four judges were able to complete the training and benefit from the knowledge of the FBI experts," the Embassy added in a statement.

"Since 2007, the U.S. Government, through INL funding, has invested approximately $197 million in training and equipment for the ISF that has helped to professionalize and modernize Lebanon’s police forces, increase the country’s security and stability, and promote the rule of law," the statement said.

What a waste of time and money. They are all corrupt and incompetent.

It’s a joke…considering that minister Fahmi acknowledged that 95% of all magistrates are corrupt… and that’s a low estimate!

training is good, however, and as pressing if not more important, is to give them the independance and freedom to act without hinderance or pressure from political or business influences. This sadly is lacking if non-existant, in today's Lebanon.

This way they know how to counter the most advanced counter public corruption measurement.
