Banque du Liban freezes accounts of notable figures
In early September 2026, Lebanese sources reported that the Lebanese Special Investigation Authority issued a decision to freeze bank accounts and financial assets of individuals linked to a case of financial corruption and fraud, suspected of money laundering and financial violations within the Central Bank of Lebanon. This included former governor Riad Salameh, his brother, and related individuals. The measure follows extensive investigations into a suspicious financial network believed to have been involved in money laundering and embezzlement operations during Salameh's tenure, which are currently being prosecuted in Lebanon and Europe. Several persons and companies, including those listed on U.S. sanctions lists, have also been added to the case to hold those involved in large-scale financial and monetary corruption accountable. Sources confirmed that the decision reflects broad judicial efforts to pursue corrupt individuals and recover stolen funds.
