A prayer for the repose of the soul of Ramzi Tawfik Salameh, brother of former Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh, was held at St. Elias Church in Antelias. Salameh attended the church after being out of the public eye since stepping down from his position and facing several legal cases. In response, the Prosecutor General in Mount Lebanon, Judge Ghada Aoun, wrote on the platform "X": "There are two arrest warrants issued by the Appellate Public Prosecution in Mount Lebanon to bring Riad Salameh in for questioning regarding the nine billion dollars in loans given to banks. These are open arrest warrants directed to the State Security, which requires his detention as soon as he is found." She added: "Shouldn't these warrants be executed now, while the person of interest is known to be in a specific location? Are we really in a state governed by law, or is the law only enforced on the weak who have no support? A question for the government, the parliament, security agencies, and every official in this country."
