In Beirut, the prosecution oversees the preliminary investigation into the death of Ahmed al-Alwani. Prosecutor General Ahmad Rami al-Hajj personally follows the case. His press office indicated on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, according to information relayed by a news agency.
The prosecutor supervises the investigation
The Intelligence Branch of the Internal Security Forces (ISF) is conducting investigations. The Attorney-General of the Court of Cassation supervises this directly.
According to MTV, the body of the former Iraqi MP was found in an apartment in the Tarik Jdidé neighbourhood in Beirut. The channel released this information on Tuesday, November 10.
According to MTV, the former MP was also strangled after being attracted to this apartment. The judicial elements consulted do not confirm this version.
According to security sources cited by Al Jadeed, a body was discovered the night before, on 9 November. His identification as that of Ahmed al-Alwani was said to have taken place on 10 November.
Al Jadeed also reports, on the basis of these sources, that the former MP would have been attracted to the apartment. Security services would review video surveillance recordings to identify possible suspects.
These sources estimate that death could go back several days. This assumption does not set a specific date of death. The disclosure of the prosecutor’s office consulted does not detail the circumstances of the death or the date of discovery. There are no autopsy results.
Embassy awaits final report
The Iraqi ambassador to Lebanon, Mohammad Reda al-Husseini, also told the Iraqi news agency that the Lebanese judiciary had opened an investigation and instructed a judge to follow her. The embassy remains in contact with the Lebanese security services and awaits their final report before announcing the circumstances of the death.
