BEIRUT: A lawyer for Raja Salameh, the brother of Lebanon’s central bank governor Riad Salameh, said in a statement on Friday the evidence in a case against him is “media speculation without any evidence.”
He added the allegations of illicit enrichment and money laundering against Salameh are unfounded.
A Lebanese judge has ordered the arrest of Raja Salameh, the judge told Reuters on Thursday.
