Beirut port explosion probe ongoing
The Beirut Port explosion case enters a decisive phase as the Public Prosecutor, Judge Mohamed Sabb, reviews the file, ahead of its transfer to the investigative judge, Tarek Bitar. It is expected that Bitar will examine the evidence and identify the suspects, including politicians and security officials, with the possibility of issuing an indictment before the end of the year. The investigation is anticipated to reveal details about the importation of ammonium nitrate to Beirut in 2013, the conditions of its unloading, and the responsible parties for keeping the material stored for six years before the explosion in August 2020, which resulted in hundreds of casualties. The ruling will determine the legal responsibilities of over 70 defendants and is expected to bring about significant shifts in Lebanon’s political and judicial landscape.
