Despite her dismissal from her post over a month ago, the Public Prosecutor at the Mount Lebanon Court of Appeal, Judge Ghada Aoun, issued an order on Thursday “banning the Chairman of the Board of Directors of al-Mawarid bank, former minister Marwan Kheireddine, from leaving the country.”
The ban came “in connection with the complaint lodged by MP Elias Jarade, lawyers Hassan Bazzi, Pierre al-Haddad, Najib Farhat and their associates against the company, Optimum, and any banker appearing in the investigation.”
The Direction of General Security was notified of Aoun’s order; however, its execution is pending the decision of the Interim Public Prosecutor at the Court of Cassation, Judge Jamal Hajjar.
Aoun was dismissed from her post on June 8, 2024, in a circular issued by Hajjar. The latter had ordered the judicial police, as well as all ministries and public administrations, to no longer comply with Aoun's instructions, effectively stripping her of her judicial prerogatives.
