Swiss bank linked to Lebanese embezzlement
French prosecutors have filed charges against HSBC bank in Switzerland for allegedly aiding Riad Salameh, the former Governor of Banque du Liban, in embezzling funds from the Lebanese Central Bank. Investigations have traced financial transfers worth millions of dollars from Salameh’s accounts and those of his brother, along with the involvement of "Fouri Associates," a company owned by his brother Raji Salameh, in an illegal scheme. Swiss reports also revealed the bank's failure to comply with anti-money laundering laws, leading to the termination of relationships with numerous clients. Salameh faces accusations of embezzling hundreds of millions of dollars from the Lebanese Central Bank, with investigations ongoing in Lebanon and five European countries.
