...Former Leb PM. He is a Sunni Muslim. In October 2021, Diab was mentioned in the Pandora Papers due to his ownership of a shell company in the British Virgin Islands....'s testimony after the latter filed a lawsuit that will pause his prosecution until a decision is made.
On Wednesday, one day before his scheduled session, Diab filed a lawsuit against the state.
Ex-minister and incumbent MP Nouhad al-Mashnouq also filed a lawsuit today against the state.
Al-Mashnouq’s session is scheduled on October 29. The suit will prevent Bitar from interrogating him until a decision is made.
Last month al-Mashnouq’s interrogation was suspended after he filed a dismissal request against Bitar accusing him of bias. The legal complaint temporary suspended the investigation.
Ex-ministers Ali Hassan Khalil and Ghazi Zoaiter, also charged with negligence, filed a lawsuit Wednesday before the Court of Cassation.
The three former ministers and incumbent MPs Mashnouq, Khalil and Zoaiter, along with ex-minister Youssef Finianos, have repeatedly filed requests to dismiss Bitar, but the Court of Cassation and the Court of Appeals dismissed the lawsuits.
