A Lebanese judge on Monday indicted former central bank governor Riad Salameh and Samir Hanna, the former head of Bank Audi, on accusations including embezzlement and illicit enrichment, a senior Lebanese judicial source told Reuters. The case alleges the pair embezzled tens of millions of dollars from Lebanon’s central bank and says Hanna bribed Salameh while he led the institution. The move widens the long-running investigations around Salameh into the private sector for the first time, with a commercial banker now formally charged in a related financial crimes case. Salameh, who ran the Lebanese central bank for three decades, has already been indicted and arrested in Lebanon over other alleged crimes during his tenure and has denied wrongdoing, saying he is being made a scapegoat for the country’s economic crisis. He is under medical supervision at a government hospital outside Beirut after missing a hearing, while Hanna, 88, is free after posting $1 million bail. The case also intersects with a criminal complaint disclosed in January by current central bank governor Karim Souaid, who said alleged illicit enrichment through misuse of public funds was carried out via four offshore shell companies in the Cayman Islands. Salameh was released in September after about 13 months in detention and paying more than $14 million in bail, and he also faces investigations in France, Switzerland and Germany.
