Lebanon gets Interpol notice following central bank chief's failure to appear
Fox News
Lebanon has received an Interpol notice after the embattled governor of its central bank, Riad Salameh, failed to appear for questioning in one of several corruption investigations.
However, Lebanon is unlikely to comply with the Interpol notice and arrest and hand over Salameh to French authorities. Under the country's laws, Lebanon does not extradite its own citizens. In 2020, it received two Interpol red notices for tycoon Carlos Ghosn, who faced financial misconduct charges in Japan. Ghosn remains in Lebanon.
Interpol listed Salameh's notice on its website, adding that he is wanted by France for "criminal conspiracy with intent to commit offenses punishable by ten years of prison", "organized money laundering", and aggravated tax fraud.
