Al Akhbar daily newspaper mentioned that "the recent statements of Hizbullah SG Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah regarding the involvement of United Nations International Independent Investigation Commission (UNIIIC) Deputy President Gerhard Lehmann in leaking investigation documents in return for money took place while German Judge Detliv Mehlis was in office.
 
The newspaper has learned that "Lehmann used to go to a tourist resort in Jounieh where he spent a lot of time in amusement. He reportedly had contacts with members of a Lebanese opposition party who offered him the deal.

According to sources, Lehmann agreed on the deal, whereby he would bring to a second meeting documents pertaining to the ongoing investigations, including testimonies given by March 14 leaders and others and comprising accusations against Syria and Hizbullah.

In this context, Al Akhbar came to know that "when the date was set, Lehmann came to a chalet in the said resort where his Lebanese friends had set a video camera that recorded all that happened in a matter of minutes."

Lehmann reportedly received around 50 thousand dollars in return for the documents.
