Caretaker PM Najib Mikati called on Interior Minister Bassam al-Mawlawi to take legal measures against Mount Lebanon Prosecutor Judge Ghada Aoun, accusing her of refusing to receive recusal notices and usurping power.
Mawlawi later asked the Internal Security Forces and General Security not to enforce Aoun’s orders, knowing that Judge Aoun had started an investigation into the banks transactions
Aoun on Wednesday told the European Parliament that Mikati is “blatantly interfering in the judiciary,” after he called for legal measures against her.
She also accused Mikati of “attacking the public prosecutor’s office of Mount Lebanon by asking the Minister of Interior not to execute her orders.”
