Judge Shoaitou Targets Politicians' Funds
Judge Shoaitou approved the pursuit of individuals with assets who transferred money abroad since 2019, particularly those related to banks and their officials. He summoned about 40 bankers for investigation. So far, approximately $100 million has been recovered from these funds, with an expectation that this amount will increase as investigations continue. Some defendants attempted to evade detection before admitting to transferring their accounts abroad, and they may face criminal charges that could include detention. Pursuing legal action against political officials requires a separate legal study, especially since the judiciary received names and amounts from Banque du Liban, which published a list of officials and their families who made financial transfers between July 2019 and April 2023.
