The Supreme Judicial Council appointed him as the forensic investigator in the Beirut Port bombing that took place on August 4, 2020[1]. However, In February 2020, the Lebanese court removed him from his of position, following legal challenges by Lebanese officials who he had previously accused of the "negligence" that led to the blast[19]. The move, which is believed to be planned on purpose, will further delay the investigation that had already faced violent political opposition[20].
