According to knowledgeable sources close to the family of the deceased, the road where the accident occurred was built in 2004, or 18 years ago. Many fatal accidents have occurred due to the presence of a large cement separator that suddenly appears in the middle of the road in the direction of Al-Wahid without any warning or state intervention to correct the fatal defect, and the family will evaluate the legal options.
These sources have accused each succeeding minister of works of negligence on behalf of the ministry as a whole and noted that all signs point to a family inclination to bring criminal charges against the contractor and everyone involved in the probe.
The late artist’s sister, Nadine Al-Rassi, took responsibility for what happened on behalf of the Ministry of Works and the road contractor in a television interview, acknowledging that the account would be challenging. This was acknowledged by the early adopters of social networking sites who sparked social media platforms by calling for those responsible for the accident to be held accountable.
Prior to the conclusion of the image and the investigations, the Lebanese Ministry of Works declined to comment in relation to the Sky News Arabia website.
We also got in touch with the law firm of Ashraf Al-Moussawi via the Sky News Arabia website, and he said that the late artist George Al-family Rassi’s is the only one who should decide how to proceed in accordance with the court’s order.
For his part, Maroun El-Helou, the head of the Lebanon Contractors Syndicate, claimed in an interview with Sky News Arabia that the failure of contractors in Lebanon to finish or maintain road and highway projects was because the state had failed to pay the dues owed to the contractors, particularly given that these projects were valued and priced in national currency.
Since the US dollar now costs 32,000 Lebanese pounds instead of 1500 Lebanese pounds when the contract was first established, the contractors lose the majority of the deal’s value.
Contractors and contractors at all Lebanese facilities halted working on any of these projects as a result.
On the other hand, Engineer Ali Hanawi, the head of the Public Safety Committee for the Federation of Arab Engineers, claimed in an interview with Sky News Arabia that the state is to blame for the high rate of fatal traffic accidents in Lebanon on the one hand due to inadequate public safety measures on the roads, such as traffic lights.
In terms of driving at a fast pace and being unable to stop quickly, traffic signals and concrete barriers separating the roadways are one thing, but the driver himself is another.
This is what the family of Georges Al-Rassi would do, especially after his passing
