Beirut, Jan 26 (TIWN) Lebanon's Prosecutor-General Ghassan Oueidat has filed charges against the judge leading the investigation into the 2020 Port of Beirut blasts and released all the 17 suspects in connection with devastating explosions that killed at least 218 people.
The prosecutor accused Tarek Bitar of “abusing power” by resuming his work despite the several complaints filed against him, reports Xinhua news agency. The investigation was suspended in December 2021 after a series of complaints were filed against Bitar, forcing him to halt his probe. He resumed his work on Monday after a 13-month suspension.
