In a statement issued Monday, Mustafa Nasser denied having “a relationship of any kind with [former General Security chief] Jamil as-Sayyed,” adding that “what is circulating in the media regarding my mediation is inaccurate.”
Earlier Monday, Lebanon First bloc MP Okab Sakr said that Nasser was the go-between for Sayyed’s unsuccessful request for a multi-million dollar settlement from Prime Minister Saad Hariri in exchange for dropping a lawsuit that Sayyed filed in Damascus in December 2009 against Lebanese and Syrian public figures.
“In all of my journalistic and political life, I have not performed any role except that of communication between the martyr [former] Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and Hezbollah, then between PM Saad Hariri and Hezbollah,” Nasser added.
