Health crisis halts Riad Salameh questioning
Former Lebanon Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh experienced a health issue while heading to the Beirut Palace of Justice, which led to the postponement of his interrogation session as part of judicial investigations into suspected financial corruption, money laundering, and illicit enrichment. Salameh's lawyer requested that he be given another opportunity to undergo medical examinations, while authorities await the medical report to decide on continuing the investigation. The charges against Salameh include suspicious financial transfers and illegal assets, amidst a severe economic crisis and the collapse of Lebanon's banking sector. He maintains his innocence regarding all accusations and affirms that his wealth comes from private investment activities.
