Al-Sahnawi Faces France Warrant
A French report indicates that France’s financial public prosecutor's office has initiated investigations into banker Anton Sahsnaoui over suspicions of money laundering, breach of trust, and tax evasion—particularly concerning the Richelieu Monaco Group associated with SGBL Bank in Lebanon, which he owns. The investigation focuses on Sahsnaoui's potential connection to former Banque du Liban governor Riad Salameh, especially regarding the latter's deposit of funds suspected of being misappropriated into the bank. Salameh transferred his accounts to Richelieu Bank in 2021, and documents link these movements to his longstanding relationship with Sahsnaoui. The report reveals inquiries into Sahsnaoui’s possible role in facilitating financial transactions tied to corruption and tax evasion cases. It is also noted that authorities have been freezing Salameh's assets since 2022.
