Bellemare Reportedly Referred New Indictment to Fransen

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Special Tribunal for Lebanon Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare referred a new indictment to Pre-Trial Judge Daniel Fransen in the attacks on the three Lebanese officials that have been linked to ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s murder, al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Friday.

Sources close to the prosecutor’s office told the daily that Bellemare referred to Fransen in the past few days the new indictment in the assassination attempts of MP Marwan Hamadeh, ex-Defense Minister Elias Murr, and the murder of former Communist party leader George Hawi.

Media reports had said that Bellemare was expected to issue a new indictment before he leaves his post in March. His successor has not yet been named.

The sources didn’t disclose the content of the indictment, hinting that it might include a fifth suspect linked to Hariri’s Feb. 2005 assassination.

STL spokesman Marten Youssef said during an interview with An Nahar newspaper this month that Bellemare can follow two ways to refer an indictment to Fransen: either discreetly, or he can refer it without revealing its context (to the public).

Eight lawyers have been selected to represent four Hizbullah members due to be tried in absentia for Hariri’s assassination.

Each of the four defendants will have a counsel and co-counsel who "are fully independent and can choose any strategy they see best fit to defend the rights of the accused,” the court has said.

The Hague-based tribunal indicted Salim Ayyash, Mustafa Badreddine, Hussein Anaissi and Assad Sabra and sent arrest warrants for them to Lebanese authorities in June last year.

But the authorities in Lebanon have so far failed to arrest them.

it is very normal to see this court beeing politicized having a major interest in this regional conflict especially now it became one of the most rich in gaz...they could be using this issue exactly as a gate to enter this part of the world...so solid facts must be very well clear to beleive it.

Thumb Marc 17 February 2012, 14:12

To enter this part of this world? They are already there woman! Whoever is accused, can defend themselves and if there are no solid evidence as you put it they will be found innocent

Thumb sophia_angle 17 February 2012, 14:47

well man! 4Generals in the Lebanese army where jailed for 4yrs and sent out because not enough solid evidence...Are we going to repeat same scenario over again?! let'em put solid facts then let'em catch them who cares am not defending them!!!

even if it were politicized it does not mean the hizze terrorists are innocent. Have you ever thought about it this way. It is hard to imagine that thousands of employees/detectives etc.. are all IN ON IT lol. If israel killed all these folks there would not be an STL to begin with, think of that.

the filthy zionist media scum hallucinate about some terrorists in others, while being the greatest terrorists in region.

they also make constructions that they hallucinate will pass as arguments.

realist is also 100% jew from occupied palestine, no way he is lebanese

Missing realist 18 February 2012, 03:44

I think you are the only one on here who is hallucinating by the way and you can not accept reality. You are 100 percent criminal who takes pleasure in seeing the killings of suni women and children and want to see more blood to feed your hate that you were raised on (since you halucinatingly believe that sunis of humus killed hussein). You are 100 percent idol worshiper of your god bashar.

Thumb Abubakr 17 February 2012, 13:11

these suspects are probably similar to the thai suspects, called ashraf al nas, or glorious by some ignorants, who on their way to their so called mission pick up prostitues and then kill in the name of god..this party should give up its arms surrender all suspects, and deport all members who commited treason by putting the interest of wilayat el fakih before the lebanese muslims and non muslims

Missing realist 17 February 2012, 20:40

ashraf nas are those who kill the sunis (the real enemy not israel) and therefore in nasrala's dictionary the nurder of the suni muslims in syria is an ashraf action

he submitted his indictement to Fransen which in his turn will submit his views to someone else that will probably resign or die of some weird illness. Get it over already, i was with the STL , but as every single day passes by, i begin to doubt how credible it is.

@Sophia and the blind habal, the reason the the 4 generals were jailed because they ordered the clean up of the crime scene, whenever a crime is committed you do not mess with the forensics unless you are part of the crime and support the killing or the assassination. This is why they were jailed pending further investigation. At least those 4 generals returned home unlike Aoun soliders/maghaweer that were thrown in Syrian jails and massacred for defending Baabda palace. At least the justice was served and they were released so prove to us that the four Hezbollah are innocent in COURT.

The accused will never be allowed to show up in court for fear of implicating the higher up reaching the heads of Hezb and Syrian Regime. Better to have the low level suspects indicted in absentia than to get the heads indicted. It is a smart maneuver on part of those that ordered the assassinations.

The same people who support the murder and genocide of sunis in Syria are 100 percent behind the death of the most prominent suni leader in lebanon. It is not that hard to figure out. Yes yes yes..repeat the twisted logic of your god hassan: israel killed the m14 folks, but also the m14 folks are israelis, so therfore israel killed its own agents and did not come close to the m8 yes yes yes.. that makes so much sense.. but hey m14 are against syria so thereofre israel did syria a favor yes yes yes.. so that makes israel syria's ally .. do you see how your hassan and brainwashed sheep like you are the ones hallucinating! lol
