Germany Cancels Arrest Warrant for Riad Salameh

Germany has canceled the arrest warrant for Lebanon's former central bank chief, Riad Salameh, due to procedural reasons, as he no longer holds the position and cannot suppress evidence. Salameh and his brother are under investigation for alleged embezzlement from Lebanon's central bank. Despite the warrant cancellation, investigations into money laundering and corruption charges continue in Germany and other European countries. Assets remain frozen, and legal experts suggest the charges against Salameh remain unchanged, indicating ongoing scrutiny despite the warrant removal.
