Report: New Sergeants Give up Badges Day after Being Promoted by Rifi
Interior Minister Marwan Charbel reportedly froze a decision by Internal Security Forces chief Maj. Gen. Ashraf Rifi to promote more than 400 officers.
Al-Akhbar daily said Saturday that Charbel ordered a freeze on the promotion of the 400 policemen to sergeants.
Rifi gave the promotion orders on June 22, it said.
The new sergeants had to give up their badges a day after the ISF chief promoted them, al-Akhbar added.
Former Interior Minister Ziad Baroud and Rifi had on several occasions clashed over the ISF chief’s rejection to abide by Baroud’s orders.
