Berri Leads ‘Battle against Corruption’
Speaker Nabih Berri has vowed to take action against alleged parties trying to cover up several scandals of corruption that have recently rocked the country.
“All those coming under pressure, whether judges or others, should inform me and leave the rest to me,” Berri said in remarks published in several local dailies on Monday.
“The battle against corruption in the internet and Internal Security Forces files will continue till the end,” he said.
“No one, whether a civilian or a military figure, will be shielded,” Berri added.
Several scandals have recently shocked Lebanon, including the discovery of illegal internet networks and a sex trafficking ring, and embezzlement in the ISF.
There have been claims that influential people have shielded and enabled such acts.
