The Lebanese magazine “Al Amwaj” has accused the Iraqi singer Majed Al Muhandis of fabricating a car accident that took place on the international highway between Italy and France during the holy month of Ramadan. 
Al Muhandis sustained severe injuries and was taken to a hospital in France.
The Lebanese magazine reported that the accident was nothing more than a publicity stunt staged by the singer.
The magazine also claimed that Al Muhandis staged the accident to avoid a court hearing.
Al Muhandis was unable to participate in the Dubai musical event on the third day of “Eid Al Fiter” (Muslim holiday after Ramadan) due to the accident.
The magazine reported that the picture released to the press about his accident was an old picture of Al Muhandis after plastic surgery he underwent.
‘Rotana Production Company’ denied the magazine report, asserting that Al Muhandis is still suffering from the car accident and will not be performing for some time. Rotana said that he would need at least two months, maybe more, to fully recover.
‘Rotana’ said that Al Muhandis suffered serious head injuries and when he is released from the hospital he will be taken to his home in Germany to be with his family.
