On Friday, the #BeirutBarAssociation announced an extension of the freeze on the liquidation of #Savaro, the company responsible for bringing the ammonium nitrate shipment to the #PortofBeirut.
./1
The decision, issued by the UK corporate registry Companies House last Wednesday, is valid until January 11, 2023.
./2
This decision prevents #Savaro officials from evading responsibility, after they requested to liquidate the company on January 12, 2021, in an attempt to hide the identity of its owners who brought the nitrate.
./3
While the Lebanese judiciary's investigations have been stalled for more than 6 months, this last measure of the British judiciary has facilitated investigations for the fourth time in a row.
./4
A decision to halt Savaro's liquidation was first issued in June 2021, then in January 2022, and a third time in February 2022.

ادّعت أكثر من 550 امرأة على شركة خدمات النقل العالميّة «#أوبر» بتُهم عدّة، بينها المُطاردة والخطف والاعتداء الجنسي و #التحرش و #الاغتصاب. وقد اتّهمت المدّعيات الشركة، أمس الأوّل الأربعاء، بـ«الإخفاق الممنهج» لمنع جرائم العنف ضدّ النساء التي يرتكبها سائقو «أوبر».
./1
وبحسب مكتب المحاماة الذي يمثّل المدّعيات، «سلاتر سلاتر شولمان»، فإنَّ «#أوبر» كانت على علم بهذه الجرائم منذ 2014،
./2
إلّا أنّها «فضّلت الأرباح على سلامة الرّكاب» وتجاهلت عمداً اتّخاذ إجراءات السلامة اللازمة لحماية المستخدمات، حتّى أنّ إحدى المدّعيات أكّدت أنَّ الشركة حظرت حسابها بعدما اشتكت على السائق الذي اعتدى عليها جنسياً.

After the #BDL Governor #RiadSalameh affirmed he had conducted an audit which clears him from corruption allegations, #Reuters revealed on Friday that it had seen a copy of the audit document and it refutes the governor's claims.
./1
The auditing firm BDO, Semaan, Gholam & Co clearly noted that its financial review of Salameh's accounts "does not constitute an audit" by international accounting standards,
./2
and that its findings "do not express an opinion or assurance" regarding Salameh's accounts since they were based on data provided by the governor himself.

بعد ترويج حاكم #مصرف_لبنان #رياض_سلامة لتدقيقٍ ماليّ ذاتي أثبت نظافة كفّه، كشفت وكالة رويترز، اليوم الجمعة، كذِبَ ادّعاءات سلامة وذلك بعد اطّلاعها على الوثائق المرتبطة بالتدقيق.
./1
وتبيّن أنّ شركة «سمعان وغلام وشركاهما» المُدقِّقة قد اعتبرت أنّ استشارتها لا تمثّل تدقيقاً فعلياً بحسب المعايير المحاسبيّة العالميّة. كما أنّ عملها «لا يمثّل رأياً أو ضمانة» بخصوص الحسابات المُراجعة، كونها استندت إلى معطيات قدّمها الحاكم بنفسه.
./2
وبدا لافتاً أنّ تصريح الشركة المُدقِّقة كان قد ورد في رسالةٍ لمروان عيسى خوري، محامي سلامة، بتاريخ 9 أيلول 2021، أي منذ قرابة العام. عامٌ واظب خلاله #سلامة على ذكر تقرير «سمعان وغلام وشركاهما»، مدّعياً زوراً أنّه يمثّل دليلاً على برائته من التهم الموجهة إليه.

أعلن مكتب الادّعاء في #نقابة_المحامين في بيروت في ملف #انفجار_مرفأ_بيروت، اليوم الجمعة، عن تمديد تجميد تصفية شركة #سافارو المسؤولة عن إدخال شحنة نترات الأمونيوم إلى مرفأ بيروت.
./1
وقد صدر القرار عن مكتب سجل التجارة البريطاني، الأربعاء الفائت، وهو ساري المفعول لتاريخ 11 كانون الثاني 2023.
./2
يمنع هذا القرار مسؤولي الشركة من التهرّب من مسؤوليتهم، بعدما حاولوا إخفاء أثرهم والتستّر على هويّة مستقدمي النترات، عبر الطلب من سجل التجارة البريطاني شطب سجلّات الشركة في 12 كانون الثاني 2021.
