The court ruled that Sheikh Malek Hariri will be released after he was arrested this morning in a police raid in which 12 members of the Hariri crime organization were detained. Malek Hariri was arrested on suspicion of extortion, threats and contact with terrorists. His attorney, Revital Sevag Shaket, stated: "We are talking about a man of peace who seeks reconciliation and has been involved in many disputes, which he successfully resolved." Police have appealed his detention.
