Central Bank Governor summoned for questioning on charges of embezzlement, money laundering

A judicial source has confirmed to Agence France-Presse that summonses have been sent to the three individuals to appear for questioning.

However, sources close to Salameh have stated that he has not yet been informed of the date for the questioning, and when he is informed, he will act accordingly. The sources also noted that anything is possible, including Salameh appearing before the judge.

This legal development comes as the Central Bank intervenes in the market in an attempt to control the exchange rate of the black market dollar.
