Bitar Reportedly Says He’ll Issue Indictment in Three Months
Beirut port blast investigator Judge Tarek Bitar has told the families of the detainees in the case that he will issue the indictment within three months, a media report said on Thursday.
The detainees “will be eventually released” and they “did not commit a premeditated offense,” Bitar added, according to al-Akhbar newspaper.
There will be a “timeframe” for the imprisonment of each of the detainees, based on the responsibility of each one of them, the judge reportedly went on to say.
“No one can remove me, and if they remove me I will return,” Bitar also told the families, according to al-Akhbar.
