Samaha Retracted Confessions
Written by Najib

 

Former minister and MP Michel Samaha was interrogated at the Military Tribunal on Monday over charges of forming a group to commit crimes in Lebanon. He was accompanied by his defense attorneys Malek al-Sayyed and Youssef Finianos and interrogated by First Military Investigation Judge Riyad Abou Ghaida. Sayyed said while taking a break from the nearly four-hour session: “The investigations are taking a serious course despite the media leaks.” He hoped that journalists would exercise caution in reporting the investigations “because the leaks may harm the case.” [Link]
