European Observatory opposes barriers to Riad Salameh's court appearance
The European Transparency Observatory in Lebanon urged ensuring that Riyad Salameh's appearance before the judiciary is not obstructed, warning that any illegal development such as smuggling or hiding could hinder the course of justice and raise doubts about attempts to cover up facts in one of Lebanon's largest financial cases in history. It affirmed that Salameh, as the main witness overseeing the management of the financial and monetary sector during his tenure, must be thoroughly examined and prosecuted transparently and fairly, to guarantee the Lebanese people's right to know the truth and determine responsibilities. The organization called on Lebanese authorities to take necessary measures to ensure legal detention conditions and to conduct the trial in a manner that prevents the loss of evidence or the concealment of information.
