The Internal Security Forces (ISF) announced the dismantling of an organized fraud network linked to a scheme to seize four properties in Beirut valued at approximately $30 million.
According to the ISF statement, the investigation revealed that the network was allegedly run from Brazil by a woman identified as R.Q., who—along with accomplices in Lebanon—attempted to take control of the properties using forged powers of attorney and falsified sales documents. The probe showed that no payments had been made for any of the targeted properties and that two forged powers of attorney had been substituted for the originals at the Beirut Real Estate Registry.
Following surveillance and investigative work, ISF units arrested, on November 23 and 28 and December 1, 2025:
- J.N. (born 1987, Lebanese)
- A.Q. (born 1998, Lebanese)
- H.M. (born 1962, Lebanese)
They are charged with fraud, money laundering, forgery, and the use of forged documents.
On December 2, 2025, authorities also arrested:
J.S. (born 1948, Lebanese)
for suspected involvement in money-laundering activities tied to the network.
Legal proceedings have been initiated against the detainees. Search notices have been issued for the remaining suspects at the request of the Beirut Appellate Public Prosecutor’s Office.
