Wadea Aql Criticizes Government for Lack of Major Cases
The article discusses how Lebanese governments since 2020 have failed to carry out a comprehensive and reliable forensic audit of public funds, despite their official commitments and decisions. The suspension of the auditing of Banque du Liban’s accounts, coupled with initial reports of violations and illegal commissions, has weakened transparency and accountability in managing public money. Additionally, Prime Minister Nohad Mashnouk’s government has made no real steps toward conducting audits or pursuing corruption cases, unlike the Free Patriotic Movement’s support for longstanding corruption files that include suspicions of embezzlement, money transfers through international networks of companies and real estate, illegal commissions amounting to millions of dollars, and large financial transfers suspected of funding illegal activities or serving influential figures. Despite ongoing support from judicial authorities and organizations, governments have not taken decisive measures to pursue corrupt individuals or recover stolen funds, highlighting a lack of political will and missed opportunities in the fight against corruption.
