Security officers received information about a gang which caters for
rich and famous clients inflicted with sexual perversion. The information
also stated that this “association’s” headquarters were located in an
apartment in Borj al-Barajneh and in another one in Msaytbeh, where
perverted practices took place among tens of sexual deviants for a fee
which could reach 500 USD.

The security officers put the “association’s” members under
surveillance, raided the apartment of Mahdi H. Z. (29 years) in Msaytbeh and
arrested him along with a young man called Ouns S. D. (19 years) while they
were practicing perversion together.

During their interrogation, both suspects admitted practicing sodomy
since 6 years with R. H. (31 years), the Syrian national Tarek F. (18
years), Ahmad N. S. (22 years) and Mohammad S. (23 years) as well as with
other individuals without knowing their identity.

They were all arraigned in the Mount Lebanon court and interrogated by
Judge Fawzi Adham. Mahdi confessed that he’s a pervert and that he
indulged in perversion and deviance with tens of men in exchange for sums
of money from a 100 USD up to 500 USD. He also admitted practicing
sodomy in his Msaytbeh apartment and that some of his friends provided him
with young men for him to have sex with.
 
Arrest warrants were issued for Mahdi and his friends who were accused
of sexual perversion according to article 534 of the penal code.
