Lebanese News and Updates
-- It's officially frozen. The judge of corruption has done it.
According to several lawyers what Ghasan did is illegal because:
1- The prosecutor's ruling was judicial and not administrative as Ghasan named it.
2- There isn't anything in law called freezing, so the when Ghasan said I'm freezing Ibrahim's ( Prosecutor) order this doesn't mean anything.
3- The official judicial administrative time ended at 4 pm and Ghasan issued it late at night and not under the noscript of "Urgent".
