The US Treasury announced new sanctions against Riad Salameh, Lebanon’s former central bank chief who recently left office without a successor.
Salameh’s “corrupt and unlawful actions have contributed to the breakdown of the rule of law in Lebanon,” the Treasury department says in a statement, adding that its action had been coordinated with Britain and Canada.
