Hariri Denies Buying 7-Million-Euro Apartment for Saudi Official

Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri denied on Saturday that he had bought a 7-million-euro apartment in Paris for a Saudi official working in the Royal Diwan.

The report of al-Akhbar daily is a fabrication, Hariri’s press office said.

Last month, Hariri also described as fabrications a report by al-Akhbar that he had taken an interest free-loan worth 7 billion Saudi riyals from Saudi King Abdullah.

The former PM slammed the newspaper, which is loyal to Hizbullah, noting that the Shiite party “had fallen in a media and political confusion” after its Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah admitted to receiving funding from Iran since the early 1980s.
