President of the Republic, Michel Aoun, called on Saturday for maintaining the confidentiality of investigations and keeping judiciary dossiers away from any exploitation.

In an issued statement by the Presidency Information Bureau, Aoun deemed that what has been circulated by the media, and the various stances on the work of the security apparatuses related to the country's security and safety, falls outside the framework of the legal principles and rules that preserve the secrecy of investigation and pre-empts the judiciary's verdict.

The President, thus, called for "complying with the confidentiality of investigations, avoiding any circulation of information before the completion of legal and judicial proceedings." 

Aoun also stressed "the need to keep judiciary dossiers far from exploitation for any objectives whatsoever."
