Mustaqbal bloc MPs Hadi Hbeish and Jamal al-Jarrah accused on Monday the Free Patriotic Movement of misleading the public over former Premier Fouad Saniora’s alleged financial violations in the national lottery in 1996.
They said in a press conference to refute the movement’s claims: “FPM leader MP Michel Aoun has no right to speak of squandering public funds because those who have a history in such affairs are not entitled to accuse others of such crimes.”
The MPs added that the Audit Bureau’s accusations of financial violations against Finance Ministry employees “are based on wrong figures as it has not been proven that they squandered public funds.”
This decision is politically motivated, stressed the Mustaqbal MPs.
Jarrah revealed that Saniora had formed a follow-up committee to verify the facts in the allegations that he committed financial violations.
“We will bring up the violations in the electricity and telecommunications sectors to reveal to the public the sides that are actually keen on preserving state funds,” he said.
Al-Akhbar newspaper had published a report on December 20 accusing Saniora of committing financial violations in the national lottery in 1996, “which consequently led to the squandering of LL5 billion from the state treasury.”
MP Michel al-Helou had stated at a press conference after the Change and Reform bloc’s weekly meeting on Tuesday: “Parliament should take a position from this matter and Saniora should be held accountable for his violations.”
“He should be tried before the supreme council for the trial of presidents and ministers,” he added.
The bloc is considering requesting the withdrawal of Saniora’s political immunity, he revealed.

The filthy Iranian War Information Department is desperate to try someone as long as that person does not belong to an M8 party. The filthy department must refresh its selective memory since it conveniently forgets that M8 and predecessors have been part of every single government since 1992.M8 followers should, by now, have figured out that their leaders and politicians only talks about corruption but that they'll never act on it because most of the people who will have to stand in front of a corruption judge will be their peers.

It all sounds good and dandy when read from newspapers and heard from other media outlets. The sooner these cases go to court the sooner the thieves and crooks, children of Mafioso Rafic Syria, will be thrown behind bars and hanged. The filth must and shall end, and Lebanon's Spring will finally become a reality. Hang the Hariri Mafia bastards ASAP.
