Judicial Corruption

The First Launch for UFL 

UFL's main goal is to preserve judicial integrity; hence the alliance focuses on corruption within the Lebanese judicial system.

Every case of corruption must become a matter of public opinion. The alliance promises to publicize the names of the devoted judges who have sworn allegiance to them and who pursue the path of honesty and integrity in performance, based on verified and precise facts in the files the alliance follows and manages. This occurs concurrently with naming the judges who have been found to collaborate with political parties in order to hinder the administration of justice.

The Supreme Judicial Council and the Independence of the Judiciary

UFL insisted that judicial formation be made solely on the basis of selecting the "appropriate judge in the right place" without respect for partisan or political interference. All chief prosecutors, including those who address discriminatory, financial, and military prosecutors, as well as appellate public prosecutors in the regions, must be included in the formations.

UFL informed the head of the Supreme Judicial Council of this position, which he based on a variety of experiences in significant corruption cases that were publicly revealed, such as the social security and waste cases. The public prosecutors' role was to defend the leading perpetrators and protect them from any liability, instead of effectively defending public funds and upholding public rights.

The Judicial Inspection Authority

UFL has filed several cases with the Judicial Inspection Authority, including:

• A behavioral complaint against the President of the Criminal Court in Beirut on December 29, 2017, for violating the fundamental legal procedures regarding the issue of embezzlement.
• A behavioral complaint against the government commissioner at the Military Court on June 18, 2019, for violating the fundamental principles of law enforcement.
• A behavioral complaint against the Malian Public Prosecutor on November 29, 2019, for distorting essential documents in the “mother’s complaint” file, not to mention keeping several complaints documented in the definitive evidence in several files, most notably the warranty and waste files.

In addition to other cases that included judges and experts in the courts.
