Lebanese authorities on Friday detained suspected drug dealer Abdel Karim Touil, a French national, just days after his release on bail.
Lebanese authorities Friday detained a suspected French drug dealer a few days after releasing him on bail, judicial officials said.
The officials said members of Lebanon’s General Security Directorate detained Abdel Karim Touil at the request of the country’s prosecutor general and he was being held at the Justice Palace in Beirut. Officials refused to give any details on whether Touil has a lawyer in Lebanon. The three officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, said the man could be handed over to France, which is expected to send an official extradition request to Lebanese authorities.
