Safety detained after police chase
Security forces moved to arrest Riad Salameh, the former Governor of Banque Lebanon, after he resisted and attempted to evade questioning. He was detained inside a hospital in Mount Lebanon based on a judicial order. Salameh had tried to avoid an interrogation session by claiming health issues, but arrest warrants had been issued against him, and it was found that he was refusing to appear before the judiciary. These measures come amid increasing internal legal pressure, as he faces both judicial and international investigations related to financial management during the financial crisis since 2019. The aim is to strengthen the investigation procedures against him, amid concerns of further arrests.
