Assassination
On 21 October 1990, Dany Chamoun, along with his German-born second wife Ingrid, and his two sons, Tarek (7) and Julian (5), were assassinated. Tamara, his daughter, survived. Dany's rival Christian leader Samir Geagea head of the Lebanese Forces, was subsequently tried for the murder. He was sentenced to death which was commuted to life imprisonment. Geagea served 11 years in jail yet was acquitted in 2005, following the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon. Chamoun's brother has denied that Dany was murdered by the leader of the Lebanese Forces, and today is currently allied with them in the March 14 Alliance. Dany's first daughter,Tracy Chamoun, on the other hand, considers Geagea to have murdered her father.
