Judge Ghada Aoun: To lift immunities then recover looted money

Mount Lebanon Prosecutor, Judge Ghada Aoun, said on Thursday "I support the right of the people to know the truth, and to see certain people being held accountable [for their actions]. I work within the scope of my powers and I have discretionary authority."

"We must demand the lifting of immunities first in case we want to recover the looted funds," she said, stressing "sympathy with the citizens."

"The President of the Republic and the judges cannot but sympathize with the people," Aoun added.
