MESOP WATCH BACKGROUND: Lebanon- PM Mikati’s Media Office Take on ‘Pandora Papers’

 5.10.2021 Asharq al Awsat
The Media Office of Lebanon’s Prime Minister Najib Mikati has issued the following statement: In the context of the recently revealed “Pandora Papers”, it would be important to emphasize the fact that the origin of the wealth of Lebanon’s Prime Minister Najib Mikati is derived from over 20 years of sustained work in the telecom sector, that culminated in 2005, with the listing of the telecom company – (that the Mikati family used to own) – on the main board of the London Stock Exchange; and its subsequent merger with the Johannesburg-based telecom leader MTN.
