Case against Ibrahim Al Amin closed; enforcement of sentence against Akhbar Beirut outstanding - STL

The Special Tribunal for Lebanon declared Wednesday that “Mr. Ibrahim Al Amin has satisfied the sentence imposed on him by the Contempt Judge Nicola Lettieri on 29 August 2016. The fine of €20,000 was received by the Registrar of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon on 14 August 2018.”

 

In a statement issued on its website, the STL noted that “as a result of these developments, Judge Lettieri has decided to lift the confidentiality of the enforcement proceedings against Mr. Al Amin. The public documents are now available on the STL website.”

 

“The €6,000 fine imposed on Akhbar Beirut S.A.L remains outstanding. The Lebanese authorities have the ongoing obligation to ensure the sentence is enforced,” the article added.

 

On 31 January 2014, Mr. Ibrahim Mohamed Ali Al Amin and Akhbar Beirut S.A.L. were charged with contempt and obstruction of justice before the STL in relation to media reports containing information about alleged confidential STL witnesses. The charges were brought under Rule 60 bis (A) of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, which states that the Tribunal may hold in contempt persons who knowingly and willfully interfere with its administration of justice.

Mr. Al Amin and Akhbar Beirut S.A.L. were each charged with one count of knowingly and willfully interfering with the administration of justice (STL-14-06).
