Lawyers Majd Harb and Elie Kyrillos filed a legal complaint once again on Tuesday against Al-Qard Al-Hassan, Hezbollah's illicit financial institution.
Harb announced on his X account that he had “filed this complaint for the second time against Hezbollah, addressed to the Acting Public Prosecutor at the Court of Cassation, Jamal Hajjar.” He expressed hope that judgments in Lebanon would finally be issued “in the name of the Lebanese people.”
The lawyer emphasized that “building the state begins with a strong judiciary that bows to no one.”
In the judicial document published, the two lawyers recalled that an initial complaint had been filed in April 2021 with the Court of Appeal in Mount Lebanon. According to the document, Mount Lebanon Public Prosecutor Ghada Aoun referred the case to the General Directorate of State Security “to conduct the necessary investigations.”
Needless to say, neither State Security nor Ghada Aoun, known for her “justice” and selective prosecutions, followed up on the case, despite Hezbollah's blatant violation of the law by establishing its own “bank.” This point was also highlighted by Majd Harb.
“Three years have passed without any investigation being conducted or any judicial decision issued against an association engaged in banking activities without legal authorization,” the legal complaint states.
