Enforcement 🇱🇧 Lebanon

A hashish seizure exposes Lebanon's parliamentary ties

Greek authorities seized a plane carrying more than 1,000 kg of hashish. Lebanon's interior minister accused two MPs, Nayef al-Masri and Speaker Sabri Hamade, and ordered an inquiry; neither was prosecuted. The scandal showed how far the Bekaa trade reached into parliament.[1]
