European Observatory: Key steps in fund recovery
The European Observatory for Integrity in Lebanon confirmed that the decision to freeze the accounts of certain individuals and companies and to lift banking secrecy is an important step in pursuing illicit funds, provided that it is part of independent and comprehensive judicial investigations. It explained that the crucial step lies in tracking the money after lifting the secrecy to determine its destination, utilize it, and recover it if violations are found. It also emphasized that having names in the freeze decision does not imply guilt, and that only the judiciary is responsible for determining accountability, highlighting the need for judicial cooperation with foreign authorities to ensure the recovery of stolen assets, protect public money, and safeguard depositors' rights.
