BEIRUT: Four members of a criminal gang involved in the sale of
pornographic DVDs have been arrested by General Security, a security
source told The Daily Star Wednesday.
The men, of Lebanese and Syrian nationality, had been promoting the sale of pirated copies of pornographic DVDs in different areas of the country, particularly in Jbeil, where they were apprehended, the source said on condition of anonymity.
The four were identified as Syrian nationals Shibli Mohammad Shibli, Younes Faisal Hussein and Mohammad Hasan Shibli, as well as Lebanese national Musa Haitham Ahmad.
The men have been referred to the relevant authorities and investigations are ongoing to uncover the remaining members of the ring and anyone else involved in the distribution of the pornographic material.
Earlier this month, General Security personnel cracked down on the sale of pornographic DVDs, while also closing two “adult” cinemas in Beirut and Tripoli.
