According to German judicial documents, there are claims of the involvement of new individuals in the acquisition of multi-million-dollar properties owned by Riad Salameh, the Central Bank Governor of Lebanon, in Germany. European authorities are currently investigating these transactions.

Documents obtained by The National, a German newspaper, show direct transactions from 'Fouri' company used to finance these properties. The company, owned by Riad Salameh's son Raja Salameh, is suspected to be at the center of an alleged embezzlement scheme orchestrated by the Central Bank Governor.

At least six investigations have been opened in Europe, where the governor and his family own a real estate empire, suspected of being funded with embezzled money."

In 2022, Germany joined France and Luxembourg as part of an international investigative team to enhance information exchange. The German investigation took a major turn in May when Interpol issued arrest warrants, adding two new names: Nadi Salameh, Riad Salameh's son, and Marwan Issa Al-Khouri, his nephew, along with Gabriel Jean, a Belgian citizen."

The investigation links them as directors of entities based in Luxembourg, which Riad Salameh allegedly used to purchase luxury properties in Hamburg, Dusseldorf, and Munich. These acquisitions were reportedly made using funds embezzled from the Lebanese Central Bank, according to the German documents.

According to the information obtained by the newspaper, Jean was the director of Stockwell Investissement SA, while Nadi Salameh and Marwan Issa Al-Khouri were directors of BR 209 Invest SA during the investigation period. Both companies are based in Luxembourg and owned by Riad Salameh.
