Germany aims to confiscate property seized in Lebanon ex-central bank chief probe
Several European countries including France, Germany and Luxembourg have been investigating whether tens of millions of dollars of the funds allegedly embezzled from the central bank were laundered in Europe. The investigation is linked to Forry Associates, a company controlled by the brother of former Lebanese central banker Riad Salameh. The brothers - who deny any wrongdoing - were accused of using Forry to divert $330 million in public funds through commissions. “My lawyer will challenge the case and will prove that these investments are of my own funds,” Salameh told Reuters when asked to comment. The case is separate from an indictment in Lebanon of Salameh, who headed the Lebanese Central Bank for three decades, and two lawyers on charges including embezzlement of public funds, forgery and illicit enrichment. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
