A Lebanon judge has issued a travel ban for Creditbank chairman Tarek Khalife, freezing bank assets as part of an ongoing probe, a judge told Reuters.

Khalife and Creditbank could not immediately be reached for comment.

Judge Ghada Aoun did not elaborate. She froze the assets of five other banks earlier this week and issued travel bans for their bosses the week before.

She has not charged any of them with a crime.
