Since OTV doesn't ask for one's affiliation before accepting his purchase of shares, what is exactly the fuss about?
On the other hand, if OTV were to do so, it would have been a total segregatory move and undemocratic behavior. It's a public shareholding company, so anyone has the right to buy shares or even become a major shareholder. The key point lies in the company's bylaws which should prevent any one person from having major say in the company's decisions.

So if this person were to influence OTV's decisions, it would be the fault of OTV's management and legal department and not the shareholder.

I beg to differ. In a public shareholding firm like OTV, one shareholder should not be allowed to have the amount of shares that give him the power to influence the company's policies, directives, modus operande, etc...
And to ensure this, there must legal clauses and bylaws that prevent any one person from having let's say more than 20% of the shares. And for him/her to have such substantial shares, he must at first disclose his bank accounts or something like that. I'm not a lawyer to know much about this, but my point is that there are legal restrictions to prevent this from happening.
That way, the 50% + of the shares will be controlled by multiple shareholders, and the company will not succumb to whims of one person.

according to the law, it's 10% max per person(physical or moral) but
i don't think that one has to disclose his bank accounts just to buy
OTV shares.

Anyway, why would the daughter of the consultant and a fierce partisan of Harriri buy shares in OTV?

That looks strange to me..

If she's the daughter of our opponent, that doesn't make her a devil.
