Fneish Demands Withdrawing Illegal Medications Case from Media Spotlight, Political Discussions
Minister of State for Administrative Reform Mohammad Fneish said on Wednesday that the illegal medications case should be withdrawn from media spotlight and political discussions.
“This case is harming the reputation of pharmaceutical companies,” Fneish told reporters before attending a cabinet session at the Grand Serail.
On Tuesday, General Prosecutor Judge Hatem Madi issued a search and investigative warrant against two people, including the brother of Fneish.
The warrant was issued against Abdul Latif Fneish and Fouad Ahmed Wehbeh over links to the forging certificates of laboratory tests and illegal medications case.
“The forging of laboratory certificates and counterfeit medications are two separate cases. Only laboratories can determine any foul play through carrying out tests,” Fneish added.
Reports say the forgery has been lingering on for about ten months and when it was exposed the health minister claimed it was referred to the judiciary a month ago.
