In wake of news about the confiscation of large amounts of fuel found in its storage tanks, “Forest” Company issued the following statement on Saturday: “Further to the statement of the General Directorate of State Security today, and the circulation of news by some media and social networking sites, it is important for ‘Forest SAL’ to confirm that it does not own any real estate in Beirut, nor in the Ashrafieh area, or even in any other Lebanese region.”

“The company’s activity is limited only to administrative and consulting work, and therefore it does not own, trade or store any materials of any kind, including fuel,” the statement underlined.

“Therefore, we ask the Lebanese media and those who are keen on the truth not to plunge the company’s name in this controversy, and to verify the information related to it before publishing,” the statement concluded.
