Riad Salameh links HSBC and France to 80M euro probe
Riad Salameh, the former governor of Banque du Liban, is facing international investigations involving accusations of corruption and money laundering. This comes amid expanding European investigations that allege involvement of global financial institutions, including the Swiss branch of HSBC, in embezzlement and concealment of Lebanese public funds. A financial bail of 80 million euros has been imposed on the bank, while French authorities continue to investigate a complex financial network linked to Salameh, who denies the charges against him. These developments highlight an ongoing long-standing financial corruption crisis in Lebanon, amid delays in local judicial proceedings.
