TL;DR Summary

Germany has issued an arrest warrant for Lebanon's Central Bank Governor, Riad Salameh, on charges of corruption, including forgery, money laundering, and embezzlement. Salameh is being investigated in Lebanon and at least five European countries for allegedly taking hundreds of millions of dollars from Lebanon's central bank to the detriment of the Lebanese state and laundering the funds abroad. This is the second foreign arrest warrant reported to be issued for Salameh within a week, after France issued a warrant for his arrest on May 16.
