Famous influencer 'Dr Food' sentenced to life over drug manufacturing case

## Influencer Convicted in Absentia

Lebanese influencer George Hanna Dib, known as "Dr Food," has been sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labor by the Mount Lebanon Criminal Court. The court, led by Judge Elie Helou, found Dib guilty of manufacturing narcotics, specifically cannabis-based drugs, hidden in biscuit products. The verdict was delivered in March, and Dib was tried in absentia.

## Legal Consequences and Co-defendants

Dib was fined 120 million Lebanese pounds and stripped of civil rights. The case also involved several co-defendants, some of whom were in custody during the trial, while others remain at large. Despite ongoing efforts by Lebanese authorities, Dib has evaded arrest and is still wanted to serve his sentence.

## Details of the Case

The charges stem from an investigation by the Mount Lebanon judge, accusing Dib and his company, Dr Food Worldwide, along with ten other suspects, of drug manufacturing. The operation allegedly used the company's brand to facilitate the trafficking of narcotics, which were shipped abroad via Turkey.
