Salameh Denies Money Transfer Allegations

Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh on Monday denied media accusations claiming that he, his brother, and an assistant have transferred $400 million to Swiss banks.

“The governor of the BDL stresses that all the news and figures circulating in some media and on social media are exaggerated and have nothing to with reality,” said a statement issued by BDL.

“These news systematically aim to tarnish the image of the Central Bank and its governor,” said a statement issued by BDL.
