Mikati slams 'theatrical' raid on Central Bank
Prime Minister designate Najib Mikati criticized Tuesday the "theatrical" raid carried out by Mount Lebanon Prosecutor Judge Ghada Aoun on the Central Bank.
Aoun had entered the bank earlier on Tuesday, after a sate security patrol searching for Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh was not allowed to get in.
Beirut Public Prosecutor Judge Raja Hamoush ordered the patrol to leave the place. Aoun said they had previously obtained the permission to raid the bank.
"Raiding the Central Bank in a theatrical manner is not the right way to address the problem," Mikati said.
"We're not defending anyone," he added. "But we hold onto a fair and non-selective judiciary."
The PM-designate urged for a political consensus on a new Central Bank Governor, before letting the law take its course.
He also stressed his keenness on the financial reputation of Lebanon internationally.

If a viper bites Ghada Aoun, the viper will die of poison. This trinity of Useful idiots from Michel Aoun, worst ever president in universe; Don Quixote Bassil, a disgusting evil political prostitute; and Ghada Aoun, a sadistic snake are the worst locust on Lebanon leaving behind utter desolation and despair all over the land. Whereas criminal HizbIran got everything they want to swallow Lebanon piece by piece, and weaken Christians and Sunnis, and destroy our institutions and reputation; the only thing this trinity got in return is marionette presidency, ministries for son-in-law to steal billions while leaving country with no power, and free reign of Ghada destroying Christian families while protecting HizbIran’s illegal crossings, money laundering, drug and captagon trade, criminal mercenaries convicted in international courts, and rule of jungle. They have enslaved Lebanon to the Basij but Lebanon will be free again and their day of justice has arrived.

Sorry Mr PM this is not a theatrical piece, it's puppet show staring Ghada Aoun as Chucky.
