Questions Raised about Bassil”s Involvement in Barouk Internet Network
The uncovering of the illegal internet network in the Barouk region with ties to Israel has opened a dispute in which the telecommunications ministry quickly denied involvement.
Bassil”s involvement in this issue of the illegal internet company in Barouk was called into question by Mustaqbal Movement member MP Ammar Houry.
Houry said the past few hours have shown that the company was established during President Emile Lahoud”s time in office and that it had functioned under Cabinet Minister Jean Louis Qerdahi.
He said the company manager is a supporter of Michel Aoun”s Free Patriotic Movement and is "very close to them, particularly to one of the parties that belongs to this bloc."
Houry pointed that the company resumed its functions after a two-day suspension.
