Lebanese Judiciary Takes Precautionary Measure Against Riad Salameh

The head of the execution department in Beirut, Judge Gabi Shaheen, issued a decision to place a precautionary seizure on the assets of Lebanon's central bank governor, Riad Salameh, his brother Raja Salameh, and his assistant, Marian Hawaik, in Lebanon, according to the newspaper "An-Nahar." The decision has been partially executed on some of these properties, with the remaining parts to follow.
