Lebanon ex-central bank chief's corruption case being sent to top court, officials say
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"The corruption case of Lebanon's former central bank governor, who is widely blamed for the country's economic meltdown, has been transferred to the country's highest court, judicial officials told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Riad Salameh was released on $14 million bail in September after a year in prison while awaiting trial in Lebanon on corruption charges, including embezzlement and illicit enrichment."
Coverage spans reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, with investigative work on Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', profiling American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations fund reporters to cover both sides and maintain open access journalism without paywalls, relying on supporters to subsidize free reporting. Separately, Lebanon's former central bank governor, Riad Salameh, widely blamed for the economic meltdown, has had his corruption case transferred to the Court of Cassation. Salameh, released on $14 million bail after a year in detention, faces charges including embezzlement and illicit enrichment; he denies the charges.
