Lebanese food influencer Georges Hanna Dib, widely known online as Dr Food, has been sentenced to life in prison with hard labour in a drug smuggling case. The ruling centers on accusations that hashish was smuggled out of Lebanon using cake packaging.
The case has drawn broad attention because Dib was a well-known public figure in the country’s food scene and on social media. Reports described him as "Lebanon’s Breaking Bad," reflecting the contrast between his online brand and the serious criminal charges against him.
According to the available details, the smuggling operation involved concealing hashish in packaging linked to cakes. The sentence marks a major fall for a once-popular influencer and highlights the severity of punishment in high-profile narcotics cases.
The verdict adds to scrutiny around celebrity-linked legal cases in Lebanon, where public interest often intensifies when a familiar media personality is involved. In this case, the court’s decision places the focus firmly on drug trafficking allegations rather than Dib’s former online prominence.
