Bellemare's Office: Evidence Alone can Lead to an Accusation

The office of the prosecutor in the investigation into the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, Daniel Bellemare, stressed that there are no political links to the ongoing investigations.

It said in an email to Al-Akhbar newspaper: "Evidence alone will lead to an accusation in Hariri's assassination."

It added that delays in issuing the indictment are a result of the complicated investigation.

"The groundwork the independent international investigation has conducted does not indicate the end of the investigation," it stressed.

Furthermore, it refuted all claims that the investigation is being politicized.
