The data reveals money cartels... Judge Aoun claims Moukattaf and Salemeh

The case is currently in Judge Mansour’s hands

The decision of the Appeal Public Prosecutor in Mount Lebanon, Judge Ghada Aoun, in the file of the Moukattaf Company for Money Transfers, was long overdue, but the UFL Alliance and the “Depositors' Cry” Association always believed that "the lesson is in the last deeds" and Aoun has finally managed to do it.

In the details, Judge Aoun issued today, on August 30, 2021, the request to prosecute those involved in money laundering in the first place, as well as other crimes according to the analysis of the data, as it became affirmed in the expert reports of some of the defendants, which included:

- Michel Moukattaf

- Moukattaf Company for money transfer

- SGBL Bank

- Antoine Sehnaoui/ Chairman of the Board of Directors of SGBL Bank

- The governor of the Central Bank of Lebanon for the crime of complicity and interfering in money laundering operations

- Maya Dabbagh, head of the Supervisory Board at the Central Bank of Lebanon, charged with the crime of refusing to cooperate and withholding information

- PWC Company, pursuant to Article 412 of the Penal Code, is attached to the Law Regulating the Profession of Monitoring Commissioners, which involvement was established by submitting partial or incomplete reports.

Judge Aoun requested the arrest of the aforementioned names and referred the file to the first investigative judge in Mount Lebanon, Nicolas Mansour, who from now on will bear the responsibility of completing the necessary investigations in this context, in preparation for taking further measures in accordance with his broad powers in such a file.
