BEIRUT: Beirut judge Ziad Abu Haidar filed official charges Tuesday against Tawhid Party chief Wiam Wahhab for slander against former Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, after Wahhab called the Future bloc head an Israeli agent, a judicial source said.
The source said the charges included slander and defamation in addition to harming Siniora’s reputation and political position.
Siniora filed the lawsuit earlier this month after Wahhab, a pro-Syrian former minister, said in an interview with Al-Jadeed TV that he was part of the Israeli project for the region.
Wahhab went on to say that “the only way Siniora could become prime minister [again] is if the Israeli plan succeeds in the region.”
Siniora later came under fire by Wahhab and other March 8 figures after launching a scathing attack on Hezbollah and its intervention in Syria, accusing the party of destabilizing Lebanon.
