The Head of the Syndicate of Gas Station Owners Fadi Abou Chakra confirmed that “the Financial Prosecutor Judge Ali Ibrahim’s decision, to seal Coral gas station in Jiyeh with red wax, which he owns, is to protect him, his family, and citizens and to avoid risk, as a result of the abuses committed by citizens who want to fill gallons by force at the station.”

Abou Chakra explained in a press interview that “the station was closed with red wax by the Office for Combating Financial Crimes and Money Laundering, and not on charges of money laundering.”

He pointed out that “the indictment was filling gallons of gasoline, the chaos inside the station, and the opposite traffic lines on the road by citizens.”
