Let us go through it then. Is it a coincidence that the leak occurred the day before the Comptroller and Auditor General section 2 report was due to be published and that in December, there was similar leak to the same journalist from the same publication that involved the same two entities that are before the committee today? There is one common denominator to both leaks, which is the Central Bank. Is that just a coincidence? I am not accusing Mr. Makhlouf.
