Baheej Abu Hamza - between prison bars and a sick bed!
Jumblatt claims Bdeir defrauded him in collaboration with Jumblatt's close associate, Baheej Abu Hamza. They sold him more than 266,000 square meters of "fake" property for an estimated $8 million.

Jumblatt maintains he was defrauded by his "highly trusted" business manager Abu Hamza, who facilitated his purchase of property at a cost higher than the real value. It seems that Jumblatt's "demographic" concerns led him to borrow from banks and purchase property that would help get rid of the spectre of sectarian mixing in his Chouf district.

According to the complaint, Jumblatt purchased a piece of property in Wadi Abu Seif at the borders of the Chouf district through his property manager Abu Hamza in 2010. The purchase aimed to "put an end to digging and scarring the mountain, caused by the property's owner Hadi Z. B. Jumblatt bought the property at a high price, since he wants to protect the Chouf area and the beauty of its forests."

The complaint explains that Bdeir is involved in trading and developing real estate. He bought hundreds of thousands of meters of land around Wadi Abu Youssef "at very low prices, taking advantage of those lands' ownership passing to a large number of heirs." According to the complaint, Bdeir paid $10 per square meter for an area of 571,130 square meters.

Thus begins Jumblatt’s entanglement. According to the complaint, based on "an airtight plan, the defendant Bdeir began spreading rumors saying he intended to develop and construct residential complexes on the property he had bought. He asked his friend, Sheikh Abu Hamza to convince Jumblatt to buy the land to stop the project for material gains."

Abu Hamza was able to convince Jumblatt, "taking advantage of the trust he had been granted." Jumblatt’s claim also maintains that Abu Hamza told Jumblatt that he could use his influence with Bdeir to sell the land for the same price by which he had bought it, without making any profit.

The claim says that the property purchased by Jumblatt from Bdeir and with the involvement of Abu Hamza carry the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6-10, with a total area of 837,505 square meters. It maintains that Bdeir had shown Jumblatt a map prepared by the Baabda real estate department in 1966, which he had obtained in March 2010.

However, "Bdeir and Abu Hamza concealed – on purpose – another map, drawn on 4/6/1969, indicating that property 2 had been reduced from 499,240 to 232,900 square meters, following its parcelling." This led Jumblatt to conclude that the defendant, along with Abu Hamza, “fraudulently sold him 266,340 square meters that were not part of the transaction and did not pertain to property 2 in the sales operation." According to his own estimates, Jumblatt paid $8 million for the missing piece of land.

"Bdeir and Abu Hamza informed Jumblatt that the former had bought the property, based on that area, and set the price at $30 [per square meter], for a total of $25 million for the property in total."

To pay for the land, Jumblatt acquired the debts owed by Bdeir's company, Wadi Abu Youssef for Tourism, Development, and Construction SAL, to the Lebanese Canadian Bank, amounting to $10 million. He provided "personal and real estate guarantees for the debt." The remaining amount was paid through a personal loan of $15 million from SGBL, at 6.5 percent in interest, providing "personal and real estate guarantees, including the first loan."

The text of the complaint states that Jumblatt "used his personal credit, family heirloom, and the trust of various banks to pay this price for the pieces of property." In his claim, Jumblatt seems to admit that his personal influence allows him to borrow large sums of money from banks to "protect the Chouf's environment." For some, this environment refers to nature and forests, but others understand it to mean demographics.

The following excerpt of the complaint shows the extent of the rift between Jumblatt and Abu Hamza. Jumblatt "fell for these deceitful methods and maneuvers, which were performed by Bdeir and supported by Baheej Abu Hamza, who used to enjoy Jumblatt's full trust, after he maintained to the claimant that he had reviewed the documents and confirmed the areas of the property included in the sale."

Thus, Jumblatt bought the "fake" property and swallowed the bait, due to "his fears about the situation of the entrance of the Chouf area." In mid-2013, Jumblatt discovered the fraud while organizing his assets and property. "People in charge of the operation discovered that the area of the purchased property differs from the actual land area."

When Jumblatt summoned Abu Hamza and asked about the discrepancy, "the latter attempted to justify the difference in property 2 by claiming it was parcelled into different properties, also owned by Bdeir, so each survey showed a different area."
