As-Safir newspaper reported on Monday that Justice Minister Shakib Qortbawi submitted a study to Prime Minister Najib Mikati “confirming” that it is acceptable to transfer the “false witnesses” file to the Justice Council.
Before the collapse of Saad Hariri’s cabinet in January, the Hezbollah-backed March 8 politicians have called on the government to task the Justice Council with investigating the issue of witnesses who gave unreliable testimonies to the commission investigating the 2005 assassination of former premier Rafik Hariri.
However, March 14 figures have said that the regular judiciary should handle the matter.
The March 8 ministers resigned over the dispute, causing the collapse of Saad Hariri’s cabinet.
The Hezbollah-led coalition then secured a majority and nominated Mikati for premiership.
