DUBAI: Former Interior Minister Nohad Machnouk appeared before Judge Tarek Bitar on Thursday as part of the ongoing investigation into the 2020 Beirut port explosion.

Machnouk arrived at the judge’s office accompanied by his attorney, Naoum Farah, the National News Agency reported.

The interrogation session began shortly after their arrival, marking a significant step in the judicial probe into one of Lebanon’s most devastating tragedies, which killed over 200 people and injured thousands.

Judge Bitar resumed his investigation earlier this year following prolonged legal and political obstacles.
