Sawan dismisses Diab's interrogation until Court of Cassation decides on Khalil, Zeaiter's claim

Judicial investigator in the case of the Beirut port explosion Judge Fadi Sawan dismissed the questioning of caretaker Prime Minister Hassan Diab which was scheduled for Friday, until the Criminal Court of Cassation, headed by Judge Jamal Al-Hajjar, issues its ruling over the claim submitted by former ministers Ali Hassan Khalil and Ghazi Zeaiter, in which they requested that the case be removed from the custody of Judge Sawan.

Neither former Minister of Public Works Youssef Fenianos nor his legal representative appeared before the judicial investigator, failing to submit an excuse for their absence.

However, Director General of State Security, Major General Tony Saliba, appeared with his legal representative, but his hearing was adjourned, along with that of Major Joseph Al-Naddaf.
