Lebanon prosecutor bans five bank board chiefs from travel

Judge Ghada Aoun issued the bans against Salim Sfeir of Bank of Beirut; Samir Hanna of Bank Audi; Antoun Sehnaoui of SGBL; Saad Azhari of Blom Bank; and Raya Hassan of Bankmed, she told Reuters.

In February, Aoun indefinitely extended a subpoena for Lebanon’s central bank governor Riad Salameh after he failed to attend three hearings as a witness in investigations into his alleged misconduct at the central bank, which includes accusations of fraud.

Aoun has not charged any of them with a crime.
