Ali Hassan Khalil

Ali Hassan Khalil (Arabic: علي حسن خليل; born 15 July 1964) is a Lebanese politician, Member of Parliament, and former Minister of Finance.

[2] He was sanctioned by the United States Treasury under the Magnitsky Act over "corruption" and "leveraging political power for financial gain".

He secured victory in the 2022 Lebanese general election for the "South 3" electoral district by garnering 13,155 votes as part of the "Hope and Loyalty" coalition.

[8] In 2021, Judge Tarek Bitar issued an arrest warrant against Khalil after he failed to attend a scheduled interrogation[9] over alleged involvement in the 2020 Beirut explosion that claimed over 200 lives.

[10] In 2024, Judge Sabbouh Suleiman of the Court of Cassation revoked the warrants against Khalil due to a constitutional provision that protects members of parliament from arrest unless they are caught in the act of a crime or a vote is held to permit their prosecution.
