Judicial ruling issued in Murr family dispute

The Lebanese judiciary has "seized all the assets of Gabriel, Jihad and Carole Murr," accusing them of "embezzlement," Lebanese network MTV, which was founded by the Murr family, reported on Wednesday.

“The ruling seizes all the properties, real estate, companies and shares of Gabriel, Jihad and Carole Murr, which proves their embezzlement of funds, after they had accused (MTV chairman) Michel Murr of this for years,” MTV said.

A statement issued by Jihad and Carole Murr meanwhile accused Michel Murr of “spreading fake news against the members of his family and his father, the last of which was the report about the seizure of assets.”

“This is only a precautionary seizure based on a lawsuit containing several fallacies and unjust accusations and is not a final judicial verdict,” the statement said, adding that legal procedures will be followed to lift the “precautionary seizure.”
