Aoun: Those Who Plundered Lebanon Will Meet us in Court

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun stressed on Tuesday that Lebanon is not a broken country, but it has been robbed.

He said after the Change and Reform bloc’s weekly meeting: “Those who plundered it will meet us in court.”

Aoun had accused former Prime Minister Fouad Saniora of committing financial violations in the Nation Lottery in 1996 when he was finance minister, saying he squandered LL5 billion from the state treasury.

The MP added: “I am the one who sought to distance himself from the base rhetoric and they cannot stoop any lower because they already are at the lowest possible level.”

He made his statements in reference to the criticism he had received over his press conference on Friday during which he accused the entire political class of conspiring against the Change and Reform bloc ministers.
