Title: Assistant to Former Central Bank Governor Accused of Financial Corruption

A French judge has charged Marian Huweik, the former assistant to the Governor of the Central Bank of Lebanon, with financial corruption and money laundering. Huweik underwent an interrogation session in Paris on Friday morning, overseen by a French judge investigating the assets of the central governor in Europe. The investigating judge ordered Huweik to be placed under judicial supervision, prohibited her from contacting the Central Bank of Lebanon or working there, and mandated a financial guarantee of 1.5 million euros. Huweik's attorney, Mario Stasi, denied the allegations and asserted that his client "will provide evidence that the collected funds primarily came from a gift granted to her by her late father, a wealthy businessman who has since passed away."
