(born in 1996, Lebanese) to smuggle two cell phones for inmate R. S. (born in 1985, Lebanese) at Batroun Prison within the Regional Gendarmerie Unit, prison personnel managed, in the act, and after close surveillance of the said F. F., to seize the two phones that were to be smuggled hidden inside a 'bath scrubber' tied with a black rope dangling from an opening overlooking the prison's outer yard.
