Fadel Abdul Rahman Shamander Chaker (Arabic: فضل عبد الرحمن شمندر شاكر Arabic pronunciation: [fadˤl ʕabdurraħmaːn ʃamandar ʃaːkɪr]; also transliterated as Fadl Shaker, born 1 April 1969) is a Lebanese singer. During his musical career he was signed to Al Khouyoul Records and from 2003 onwards with Rotana Records.
In 2013 and after a career as a singer, Fadel Chaker joined the ranks of imam Ahmed al-Assir and was falsely blamed in participating in the attacks on the Lebanese Army which evolved into the 2013 Sidon clash. As of 2013, he was a wanted fugitive by the Lebanese government and had hidden in Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp. Even though he was cleared of the involvement in the Sidon-Abra clash by the Lebanese authorities, multiple financial accusations remain unresolved. According to the latest updates, Fadel has left Ain al-Hilweh and voluntarily surrendered to the Lebanese forces, hoping that the judicial process will ultimately prove his innocence regarding the remaining charges.
