Oueidat Denies Suspending Decision to Summon Geagea

State Prosecutor Ghassan Oueidat has not suspended State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Fadi Akiki’s decision to summon Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea in the Tayyouneh incidents case, Oueidat’s office said on Friday, denying media reports in this regard.

The office, however, noted that Akiki’s decision is “being followed up by the relevant authorities to determine whether the interrogation should happen at the Intelligence Directorate or before the judge who tasked the Intelligence Directorate with hearing the LF leader’s testimony.”

“No timeframe has been set” for the authorities’ deliberations, the office added.
