Mount Lebanon Prosecutor Judge Ghada Aoun said, in a tweet on Wednesday, that if Qard Al-Hasan association was proven to be a bank and not a mere financial institution, the Central Bank must then take the necessary legal action before the Financial Prosecution pursuant to the Code of Money and Credit.

"Pertaining to the issue of Qard Al-Hasan, against which I am accused of not taking any action, legal knowledge is necessary. If this institution is proven to be a bank, the Central Bank must conduct the required investigation and press charges before the Financial Prosecution pursuant to the Code of Money and Credit," Aoun tweeted.

"Those concerned are asked to act in this direction," she urged.
