Lebanon's former central bank governor, Riad Salameh, has been arrested after a lengthy interrogation by the judiciary, marking a significant development in his alleged financial crimes.
73-year-old Salameh, who governed the central bank for three decades, is facing serious accusations of corrupt practices, including illicit enrichment and manipulation of financial losses.
Despite being accused by various entities, Salameh has consistently denied these allegations, claiming his wealth is derived from his family inheritance and previous investments.
The interrogation lasted over three hours, where Salameh was questioned about hiring a company to obscure Lebanon's financial deterioration, signaling the seriousness of the ongoing investigation.
