A week after the case of Najib Mikati, Judge Aoun faced "disciplinary action", by State Prosecutor Ghassan Oueidat, who also urged the security institutions to stop referring cases to Aoun, who replied: “They don’t want me to complete the investigations. They want the thefts to continue”, and also claimed that Oueidat had been “eagerly waiting” for the opportunity to press charges against her for taking initiative in cases against corrupt authority figures.[9]
