Grysati does not hesitate to interfere in the records of the State Advisory Board on the grounds that he knows some of them [Haitham al-Moussawi]
What's going on -he? ] A few weeks ago, Judge Nadim Ghazal was summoned to an accountability meeting at the presidency of the State Advisory Council, where he was informed of many serious observations about illegal interventions. He was also informed that the Presidency of the Council was considering sending the file back to the Disciplinary Board. Ghazal replied that he preferred to resign from the Council and from all the judiciary. What was approved on June 11
Execution measures were taken, but the decision to accept the resignation requires the signature of Prime Minister Saad Hariri. More than a month later, the latter did not sign the resolution, accompanied by political highlights among the authorities of the authority, that the decree was "unfair" and that what was happening was an organized purge at the state advisory council after the appointment of the new president, Henry Khoury succeeded former president Shukri Sader, who announced his resignation from the judiciary.
Interestingly, these climates were accompanied by spreading disinformation, as well as by a harsh campaign against Judge Ghazal and accusations of millions of dollars' worth of corruption. Judges in positions of power, politicians and activists on social networking sites and internet sites, some of them based on political references and references, found that there was someone there. One who wants to exploit the Ghazal case. Shura of the whole state. As for the argument of the protesters, the president of the Shura Council had to send the judge to justice and not just resign.
The truth, which everyone knows, is that the Shura Council has experienced a major crisis for years. A very large number of files and not to settle them, or even to decide some of them for the benefit of intruders. When President Michel Aoun came to the presidential palace, he asked the General Directorate of the Presidency of the Republic to list the outstanding issues before the Shura Council, specifying why they did not decide to do so. not.
Later, it became clear to the President of the Republic that there was a serious problem, which prompted him to speed up the decision to change the Chairman of the State Advisory Council and to succeed him. Judge Khoury to Judge Sader. Then a new workshop was launched. Council chambers were able to quickly decide on dozens of outstanding cases, as part of a work program to decide on all existing cases, including those that have been delayed for various reasons.
In practice, the State Advisory Council The problem of the group calculated on the President of the Republic is still centered on the interventions of the Minister of Justice Salim Griissati, who has not hesitated to intervene in the records of the State Advisory Council itself, on the grounds that he knows some of them. If President Aoun does not put an end to this minister who has the moral and legal responsibility to stop the constitutional amendment that releases the judiciary more than the authority of the political tutelage, all attempts to reform of the judiciary remain fragmented. [45] However, why did the senior judges in the "prize" of the campaign involve the Shura Council, especially after the decision to revoke the agreement of mechanical inspection? This means that Hariri refuses to sign the decree-law (acceptance of Ghazal's resignation), and that the Progressive Socialist Party wakes up to the corruption of a judge and gets closer to President Nabih Berri or the president. outside to participate in this campaign. Why did the prosecution of other judges of the State Advisory Council only take place when the Ghazal case was raised and the names of the judges were "deliberate" that they were affiliated to President Aoun?
What matters to the people here is not the settling of accounts between the referees. But the judiciary bears the responsibility. If he wants to continue to depend on political forces and authorities, let him know that judges will pay the price and that public justice will pay the price. If the judiciary wants to seize the opportunity to purge the judiciary of corruption, that is their chance.
Why, after raising the case of Ghazal, is the intimidation of the prosecution of other judges of the Shura On the judicial level, the Attorney General Samir Hamoud revealed to Al-Akhbar that he had asked Judge Henry Khoury to open the investigation file with Ghazzal, stating that he was going to be prosecuted when he was found guilty. The judge was involved in corruption and corruption. Hammoud commented on Al-Akhbar's report on the silence of the prosecutor's office, saying: "The judiciary operates silently far from the media (the trial of judges belongs exclusively to the public prosecutor). He revealed that there were three judges as part of the criminal prosecution, but he refused to reveal their names.
In the same context, the magistrates separated, in particular by virtue of the separation of the administrative judiciary from the judicial system. Two camps are facing. Administrative justice in the face of judicial justice. Some referred to the dissatisfaction of the State Advisory Council with regard to the performance of the judiciary, citing a campaign against the State Advisory Council to destroy it in the context of certain appeals against the interests of political groups and the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars. Sources state that the Council has ruled in dozens of cases since taking office as Judge Henry Khoury, considering that the action against a judge is registered with the Shura State and not against him, for he reformed, especially that the State Consultative Council falls within his attributions. On the other hand, judicial sources have found that the decision to place administrative judges under the jurisdiction of the Office of the State Advisory Council, which has absolute jurisdiction over administrative judges, because it is P on him- even liable if this judge has been found guilty, not a contract settlement with him and ask him to resign reserves the right to hospitalization at the expense of the judges helping fund. Sources said many complaints were received against Judge Ghazal, "but they were not documented at the time."
Nadim Ghazal: I did not resign under pressure
Judge Nadim Ghazal issued a statement explaining his resignation From the State Advisory Council responded to the campaign, which l & # 39; accuses of taking bribes. In his statement, he stated that he was working as "Associate Counselor of the State Advisory Council and not as Chamber Leader", that he is not a single judge who renders individual judgments but participates in judgments rendered by a body composed of a president and advisers. During the duration of his service, no answer was requested. The means of appeal against judgments rendered by the State Advisory Council are known and are usually directed against a decision made by the Commission and not by the President or Chancellor. He proposed to resign not because he is accused of a particular case, but because any responsibility is offensive to his position and dignity and to his family.
As for the object of an apartment that he owned, Ghazal explained that he "had sold his old house and taken with his wife a 33-year real estate loan since 2013, he has no other and has no credit account, "and concluded wishing" to stop exposing the judge and his family to abuse and let him. " case to take its place before the competent authorities. "
Drawing Aoun?
" I am the head of the legal department of the Beirut Bar Association and I know the names of the judges who were bribed for 19 years in the district, they resigned and tried to d & # 39; belong to our union. "You wanted Elias Bou Eid? Ibrahim al-Amin, Radwan Mortada
