| [An Nahar] Special Tribunal for Leb Persecutor Daniel Bellemare might issue an indictment against parties throwing accusations at the STL, the court's front man Marten Youssef said. Youssef told al-Mustaqbal ... the Future Movement, political party led by Saad Hariri... daily published Saturday that judicial authorities at the tribunal are hearing the accusations made against the court but this does not affect the work procedure of any of the involved judges. "Bellemare however could resort to accusing or issuing an indictment against those making the accusations," he said. "We can't expect any measure from him in this regard but the court is seriously looking at these accusations," he added. Youssef reiterated that the STL is expecting Leb to implement its international commitments and take the necessary measures to find the four suspects accused of involvement in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri's Feb. 2005 liquidation. "Not providing evidence in the indictment doesn't mean there is no such evidence," he said to refute Hizbullah's claim that the indictment issued by the STL against four of its members was baseless after it relied on the circumstantial evidence of telecom data. The tribunal will work on presenting the evidence when the trials start, Youssef added. |
