Lebanese TikTok food influencer Georges Hanna Dib, known online as Doctor Food, has been arrested in Lebanon after authorities alleged that confectionery and food products made at his factories contained narcotics and were intended for shipment to a Gulf country, in a case linked to an earlier in-absentia life sentence for drug trafficking and smuggling.
Dib, born in 1986, was detained at his home in the Rhaba area of Aakkar, northern Lebanon, on 23 August. Lebanon's Internal Security Forces said he was wanted under two arrest warrants and detention orders.
