Germany issues arrest warrant for Lebanese central bank boss

DW, 24 May 2023
Germany has issued an arrest warrant for Lebanese Central Bank Governor, Riad Salameh, on allegations of corruption including forgery, money laundering, and embezzlement. The 72-year-old is accused of misappropriating millions from Lebanon's central bank. This follows a similar warrant from France and an Interpol Red Notice after his no-show at a Paris court hearing. Despite these charges, Salameh denies all wrongdoing. DW spoke to Anne Kirstine Rønn from the London School of Economics’ Middle East Center.
