A Defector’s Story

November 18, 2006 · Mustapha Hamoui

If you’re in the mood for scandal, here’s an audio interview with an ex-FPM insider..

Elie Mahfooz, the leader of the “Movement For Change” explains why he broke up with Michel Aoun and sheds the light on some sleazy moments in the FPM’s new history. For example, remember when the FPM and the Marada accused Samir El Jisr of bribing an FPM’s coordinator in the north, and produced a bank cheque to prove it? Well, Mr. Mahfooz produces a testament from the Bank’s Manager that the said cheque is fictitious, null and void.

Not so “clean-handed” after all don’t you think?
