Lebanese general prosecutor releases Hachim, bans him from travelling

CAIRO – 7 January: Lebanese Prosecutor Ghada Aoun released Nancy Ajram’s husband, Lebanese dentist Fadi al-Hachim, after listening to his testimony and banned him from travelling outside Lebanon.

Some Syrian media outlets claimed that the deceased Syrian thief was a gardener who used to work in Ajram’s villa and came to take his financial receivables, the matter that was completely refuted by Hachim's brother.

Ajram’ s husband was transferred to the hospital on Monday, according to sources that revealed that Hachim had a breakdown after the accident.

Lebanese newspapers explained that the thief that was killed in the house of Ajram got 16 bullets, and it was later revealed that the thief had a fake pistol, but Hachim did not realize that.

Some sources said that one of the employees at Nancy Ajram's house was involved in the case and that he helped the thief enter the secured villa.

On January 5, Hachim shot dead a Syrian named Mohamed Hassan Moussa who entered the Lebanese singer’s villa at dawn in New Sheileh region for theft.

Ajram got a minor injury in her right leg, but her daughters are safe. Lebanese security forces arrived at the star's villa at once and launched investigations into the accident.

Lebanese Prosecutor, Ghada Aoun, issued an arrest warrant against Hachim in order to take the legal measures.

The Lebanese diva is always eager to post pictures on her official social media platforms with her children and husband, unlike many celebrities in the Arab World who prefer not to expose their family members to the public.

Ajram was born in May 1983 in Achrafieh, Lebanon. When Ajram was 15 years old she released her debut studio album "Mihtagalak" (I need you) produced by EMI. The following year, she released her second album "Sheel Oyoonak Anni" (2001) (Take your eyes off me).

She was exceptionally accepted to the Syndicate of Professional Artists in Lebanon despite being under the legal age.

Her career boosted in 2003, and in 2007 she sold over 2 million records, ranking third best-selling female artist in Lebanese history. According to her website, she was described on the Oprah Winfrey Show as one of the most influential personalities of the Middle East.

Ajram was announced the best-selling Middle Eastern female singer of the decade (2000–2009).

Ajram does not shy away from diversity in her songs; her albums usually draw on many dialects, including Egyptian, Lebanese or Khaleeji (Gulf). She is also one of the judges in "The Voice Kids" airing on MBC Masr.

Throughout her career, Ajram has released a number of studio albums, including two dedicated for children, and numerous chart toppers such as the Lebanese hits "Yay", "Ehsas Jdeed" (New feeling); the Egyptian hits "Ya Tabtab", "Mo'egaba" (I'm in love), "Ibn El-Giran" (Neighbors' son), "Fi Hagat", "Ma Tegi Hena" (come here); and the Khaleeji hit of "Ya Kether".
