Judge Aoun summoned for interrogation over Berri's libel complaint
Mount Lebanon Prosecutor Judge Ghada Aoun was on Thursday notified of being summoned to appear before State Prosecutor Ghassan Oueidat on Mondya over the libel complaint filed against her by Speaker Nabih Berri and his wife Randa, the National News Agency said.
Aoun had published Wednesday a list of names of Lebanese officials who have frozen accounts in Switzerland, citing WikiLeaks as a source.
She captioned the list with a call for the mentioned politicians to lift secrecy off their accounts, "for the sake of transparency."
"I do not know how true this information is, but why don't they disclose their accounts in the Swiss banks," Aoun said.
The name of Berri comes fourth in the list with $6.4 billion, in addition to an account for his wife Randa Berri worth $5.7 billion and another for his son Abdallah Berri worth $2 billion.
Berri's lawyer Ali Rahhal filed a complaint before Oueidat for "prosecution, investigation and for taking the necessary legal measures."
