Free Patriotic Movement Chief, MP Gebran Bassil, filed a complaint before the Election Supervisory Board against the “Lebanese Forces” and the “Lebanese Kataeb” Parties, “for flagrantly exceeding the ceilings of electoral spending to a large extent.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

He requested that the violators be referred to the competent Public Prosecution, “because the description of financial and criminal offense applies to their proven violations.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In his complaint, Bassil pointed to \u201cthe multiple advertisements by the Kataeb and Lebanese Forces Parties, to the point of exposing the real cost,\u201d confirming that they exceeded the permissible spending ceiling.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“It is unreasonable for this number of advertisements to remain below the spending ceiling, regardless of the correct accounting data that is being submitted,” he said, while emphasizing the significant disparity when it comes to the Lebanese Forces over the Kataeb Party.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
