Lebanese judiciary summons ex-Central Bank governor
The Lebanese judiciary has issued a summons for former Banque du Liban Governor Riyad Salameh to be interrogated in a case related to the embezzlement of bank funds, following his failure to attend a scheduled investigation session. Since his removal from office in September 2024, Salameh has faced financial accusations and crimes involving embezzlement and forgery, although no court verdict has yet been issued against him. These measures are part of ongoing domestic and European investigations suspecting that Salameh accumulated assets illegally. Lebanon has filed a complaint against him concerning amounts exceeding $260 million. Meanwhile, his central role remains a subject of widespread criticism following the economic crisis that has plagued the country since 2019.
