Judge issues 5 arrest warrants in illegal internet case

Mount Lebanon’s Investigative Judge issued an arrest warrant on Saturday against five men over their alleged involvement in the illegal internet networks.

 

Judge Rami Abdallah ordered the arrest of Toufic Hiso, Hasan Mortada and Tanious Haddad, who are already in custody.

 

He also ordered the arrest of two others in absentia.

 

Telecommunications Minister Boutros Harb said last March that several unlicensed internet providers with links to Israel were operating in Lebanon.
