Goodbye to criminal scrutiny, goodbye to Lebanon’s independence, goodbye to hope for a better Lebanon! This year’s Independence Day is an orphan, no celebration and maybe even no independence. The latter was looted at the expense of the rotten cheese shared by the powerful, and its smell smelled until it “softened” criminal scrutiny. Maybe we are tired of “Who has the responsibility?” Because the responsibilities are clear and the captain continues to intentionally sink his ship.
The criminal audit firm Alvarez & Marshall loaded his luggage and walked out fearing that the corruption of the Lebanese authority would undermine his international reputation. The reasons are clear, not even the same, there is no intention to reform the political authority, because it seems that the criminal investigation would have been the final blow against him, and the least was the launching of accusations and throwing them to the right and left. The Banque du Liban says it has turned over all its files to the company, while the data confirmed that Governor Riad Salameh was pleading with French immunity to discover the facts. In the meantime, it does not appear governmental.
And if the criminal audit file was obstructed, of course, a rich substance was brought onto the plates of the furious debate between the First Presidency and the National Movement on the one hand, and the Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri and Salameh on the other, such as the two main defendants in aborting the audit process and the two partners who agree to avoid hidden disclosure in the bank’s accounts. On the other hand, he drew attention to what well-informed sources revealed to “Nidaa Al Watan” about the ongoing communication between Salameh and some officials in Paris about the criminal audit file, interspersed with “letters” in which the Bank’s governor Central requested a French “immunity” to ensure that it would not be prosecuted before proceeding. In the state of accounts of the State, since he used to command the orders of the political authority throughout his term in every penny that he spent, justly or illegally, of the funds of the public treasury.
While the fate of these letters and how to interact with them has yet to be decided in Paris, sources reported that the news that the Álvarez company announced its withdrawal from the criminal audit file in Lebanon was met with “overwhelming French dissatisfaction. “on the actions of the Lebanese authorities, given that this dossier is at the forefront of economic and financial reform priorities. What is required in the French newspaper, and French President Emmanuel Macron personally expressed a clear emphasis on the need to verify the accounts of the Banque du Liban, and deliberately brought a specialized delegation in this field with him to Beirut to show the importance of scrutiny in the process of saving the Lebanese state and stopping the cycle of attrition and collapse.
In context, follow-up sources told Al-Gomhoria that the company carried out a review of the way the agreement was concluded and found that the authority was not fundamentally taking the audit seriously, otherwise it would have amended the laws. required before concluding the agreement with it, including the bank secrecy law and the cash and credit law. And especially in article 151, which prohibits any current and former employee of the Banque du Liban from giving any information, and reads verbatim: “Any person who belongs or belongs to the Central Bank, in any capacity, must hide the secret established by the Law of September 3, 1956 This obligation includes all the information and all the facts related not only to the clients of the Central Bank, banks and financial institutions, but also to all the aforementioned institutions, which has been known by their affiliation to the Bank Central. Likewise, the positions announced by some political parties regarding reservations on any proposed law presented to cancel or freeze the banking secrecy law made them aware that they would wait without success.
The same sources added: “From past experiences, it has become clear that political forces do not want to abolish banking secrecy, not because this law is a force factor in attracting money, because this advantage fell at the beginning of the collapse, but to protect corruption. If the political system had been sincere in its search for the sources of corruption and crime, it would have decided to repeal the bank secrecy law since the State announced that it would stop paying Eurobonds.
At the government level, the stagnation continues. Most of the information comes across one result, which is that Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri will not apologize for forming the government for more than one general personal and political reason, and because he considers the French initiative to be the last chance to that Lebanon come out of the crisis it is going through, according to the Wasat House visitors, to become “Major General”. .
They added, “Hariri is trying to turn corners, but without deviating from the framework of the initiative, especially after he managed to obtain approval from Aoun and the political forces for the government to be made up of 18 ministers, which would later help in the distribution of portfolios and appointments of ministers even if things got complicated at the beginning of the road, especially with The American knot is closely related to the refusal to be appointed minister of any figure close to Hezbollah or proposed by the party.
Official sources were reported to have said that Aoun was not satisfied with Hariri’s training approach, especially regarding the distribution of portfolios and the selection of ministers, especially Christians. Therefore, he asked him to take another approach that applies to Christian forces in the election of ministers, similar to what will be done with Sunni, Shiite and Druze forces.
According to well-informed sources, Aoun referred to the government formation expedient in his speech on Saturday, and perhaps the need to activate the interim government.
