Lebanese food influencer sentenced to life for drug smuggling
Georges Hanna Dib, known as Dr Food, sentenced for smuggling hashish out of Lebanon in cake packaging.
A Lebanese food influencer known online as “Dr Food” has been sentenced to life in prison in a drug-smuggling case, according to a monitored public feed from Al Jazeera Latest.
The report identifies the man as Georges Hanna Dib and says he was convicted for smuggling hashish out of Lebanon using cake packaging. Beyond those core details, the available feed information is limited and does not provide additional case specifics, such as the court location, the timing of the alleged smuggling operation, or whether any other people were implicated.
The case stands out because of Dib’s public profile as a food influencer, a role that typically centers on cooking and restaurant content rather than criminal proceedings. The feed summary does not indicate how long he had been active online or the size of his following, but it makes clear that he was known by the nickname “Dr Food.”
Based on the feed, the sentence was handed down in connection with the movement of hashish from Lebanon concealed in cake packaging. No further details were provided about the quantity involved, the destination of the drugs, or the evidence presented in court.
