Lebanon's former central bank governor, Riad Salameh, was detained after questioning about corruption cases, reflecting ongoing investigations into financial misconduct.
Salameh, who served as central bank governor since 1993, has faced scrutiny from several European countries for alleged financial crimes linked to Lebanon's economic crisis.
Although Salameh is celebrated for post-war economic recovery efforts, many Lebanese blame him for the financial crisis that erupted in 2019.
Despite his wealth's explanation being inherited properties and investments, Salameh is under investigation for manipulating financial statements to conceal losses.
