After the website "vdlnews" reported the seizure of a quantity of drugs hidden inside biscuits headed for Turkey without mentioning the brand name of the implicated product, social media influencer George Hanna Dib, known as "Dr. Food," posted a video denying the circulating news. Dib considered the investigation to be mere rumors aimed at tarnishing the reputation of "Dr. Food" products and involving them in drug-related issues. In a post on social media, he asserted that this news is completely false and emphasized the company's commitment to ensuring the highest quality for its customers. He stated that they would review the situation with the relevant judiciary to impose appropriate penalties on those responsible for these "black pens" and enemies of success, who he claimed are well-known to him. He urged everyone sharing this news to verify any information before publishing it.
In response to George's statements, vdlnews clarified that everything mentioned in the previous report, which questions its validity, is backed by conclusive evidence as reflected in the following documents. Judicial sources indicated that the individual (identified as J. H. D) is accused of smuggling a quantity of drugs within biscuits brand associated with him, which were on their way to Turkey. He is known from social media, and his family issues have recently stirred controversy among TikTok users and other platforms.
In detail, Judge Ziad Dighidi decided to refer the case to the Central Anti-Drug Office on 19/2/2024 and assigned the following tasks:
1. Identify the phone numbers of the defendant (J. H. D) and check if he uses any other numbers apart from those listed in the preliminary investigation report.
2. Analyze the incoming and outgoing call logs on the specified numbers.
3. Determine whether there has been any communication with the numbers mentioned in the preliminary investigation report.
Judge Dighidi also referred the case to the Central Anti-Drug Office, tasking it to consult with appropriate laboratories and the forensic evidence office to perform the following tasks:
1. Examine the seized biscuits from the brand found at the airport and those at the shipping company, as outlined in the preliminary investigation report.
2. Obtain samples of the biscuit brand from the local market and from the company's warehouses and factories and compare them with the samples seized at the airport and the shipping company to identify any differences, if present.
