Updates on the TikTok gang: Singer’s file investigated!

"Lebanon Debate"

The TikToker gang's activities are increasingly coming to light as more facts emerge. This gang used to lure minors to rape and photograph them. This issue has garnered significant public attention, prompting both judicial authorities and security agencies to take decisive action.
In the latest developments, we witnessed the arrest of lawyer Khaled Merheb, whom the Beirut Bar Association gave permission to pursue, as he disappeared from sight until yesterday evening.

Judicial sources confirmed to Lebanon Debate that "the Cybercrimes Bureau had transferred the investigation reports to the first investigative judge in Mount Lebanon Judge Nicolas Mansour. He pressed charges against the detainees before postponing their hearings to July 9."

The number of detainees has reached 13, including minors. The judicial authorities are waiting for Interpol to arrest 3 others against whom an arrest warrant has been issued in absentia, most notably Paul Al-Maouchi, nicknamed "Jay", who is in Sweden, and Peter Nafaa.

Moreover, sources confirmed that "the Public Prosecution in Mount Lebanon is investigating the file of Hassan Singer, "the king's witness" after repeated information linking him with the gang. It stressed that “Singer is the one who reported the gang through his lawyer, and was considered a king witness, who is currently outside Lebanon. The Public Prosecution is studying the file to ensure the data that can be used to convict him before issuing an arrest warrant. This fully knowing that a search and investigation warrant was issued, summoning him to a court hearing."
