Head of Future bloc Saad Hairiri’s media office denied Monday what “Assafir” newspaper reported over Bechara Tarbieh's receiving of funds from a drug and money-laundering network, claiming that the latter is Hariri’s lawyer.
The statement stressed that Tarabieh is not Hariri’s Lawyer and that he has no connections with him in any way.
This comes after a French newspaper reported that a Colombian drug and money-laundering network working in favor of the Hezbollah had claimed that they had given out the funds to Hariri’s Lawyer Tarbieh, who was to transfer them to Hariri.
