NNA - Accused Mustapha Badreddine's Counsel, Antoine Korkmaz, expressed disapproval of the issue of the telephone calls, especially that the Prosecutor General is relying on the theme of the red network while not knowing yet the people with whom Ayyash spoke to.



Attorney Korkmaz's words on Monday came in an interview to the National News Agency in The Hague.



On the subject of STL funding, Korkmaz asked "which countries are funding said court and to which political affiliation do they belong?"



"In accordance with the UN statute, Court funding cannot be secured through donations but rather through subscriptions, in order to ensure its independence," Korkmaz said.



He also criticized the budget allocated to the defense body compared to that of prosecution, in addition to the slow pace of transactions with the Lebanese government in meeting their demands, in terms of telephone lines or others.
