The arrival of the Chairman-General Manager of Al-Mawarid Bank and former Minister, Marwan Khair El-Din, to Beirut International Airport, coming from France, sparked a state of condemnation and anger on social media, after Khair El-Din was released in France on bail and allowed to return to Lebanon. A condition for continuing his trial, and he is accused of colluding with the Governor of the Banque du Liban in smuggling money out of Lebanon after the beginning of the crisis in 2019.

The French judiciary leaves Marwan Khair El-Din under investigation (he has the right to leave France after his pledge to appear before the court when summoned), and according to information, the value of the bail amounted to one million euros, which proves the seriousness of the suspicions against him. ⛔️ This is how Hezbollah mandated “legitimately” to vote for its regulations in the elections ???????????????? pic.twitter.com/58apErQ69V – Tony Bouloss (@TonyBouloss) April 17, 2023

Ok, Marwan Khair El Din, what did they do? If he is guilty, how do they receive him like this is the reception of the conquerors? And if someone is not guilty, he will come out and explain it…. Hey, “help your brother, whether he is unjust or oppressed.” These were the days of Jahiliyyah, and now we are walking through them… — ????????Hiya@Peace???????? (@HiyaXena2023) April 22, 2023

Khair El-Din was being held under investigation in France, and earlier, a spokesman for the Financial Public Prosecution Office in Paris said that the Lebanese banker was suspected of involvement in a criminal organization and money laundering.

Lebanese activists on the communication sites denounced how “the thief and the criminal are honored and their corruption is celebrated by hypocritical politicians and clerics instead of being held accountable and imprisoned.”

Only in Lebanon the thief and the criminal are honored and celebrated for their corruption of hypocritical politicians and clerics instead of being held accountable and imprisoned ???? Marwan Khair al-Din arrived at Beirut airport. He was received by Talal Arslan, a delegation from the leadership of his party, a delegation of sheikhs, and the representative of the sheikh of the mind of the Druze monotheistic sect, Sheikh Nasr al-Din al-Gharib. #I don’t want to come back home pic.twitter.com/j5i56Ow7e6 — Marcelle Rashed (@marcella_rashed) April 22, 2023

And spread on the communication sites recorded clips of Khair al-Din’s arrival at Beirut airport, where he was received by the head of the Lebanese Democratic Party, Talal Arslan, at the head of a delegation from the party’s leadership, and a delegation of sheikhs led by the representative of Sheikh Akl of the Druze monotheistic sect, which gave sectarian cover to Khair al-Din In an attempt to prevent his accountability in Lebanon. Activists expressed their regret over the reception scene, and believed that this scene “explained how sectarianism establishes the principle of impunity in Lebanon.”

An unfortunate scene that explains how sectarianism establishes the principle of impunity in Lebanon Thank you to the French judiciary, which ruled that it will complete its investigations with the temporarily released Marwan Khair El-Din. Justice will come and all of you will be judged pic.twitter.com/f9U4K2mXMK — Odette Sawaya (@sawayaodette) April 22, 2023

Khair El-Din’s return to Lebanon comes at a time when the Lebanese are losing confidence in their judicial system, which is controlled by political leaders and is subject to the will and considerations of sects, as many depositors who lost their money in Lebanese banks sought refuge in the judiciary outside Lebanon and filed lawsuits in France, Britain and the states. And tweeters expressed the state the country has reached, saying, “The corrupt is honored. The agent is smuggled out. And whoever tells the truth, lies are fabricated for him!”
