Lebanon: Judge refuses to take on Riad Salameh probe ...Kuwait

A high-profile corruption probe into Lebanon's central bank governor is in limbo after being assigned to a judge who then declined to take on the case, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters. Top prosecutor Ghassan Oueidat last week referred Riad Salameh and a number of unidentified associates to a Beirut court after the conclusion of an 18-month preliminary investigation, asking a judge to file charges including illicit enrichment, embezzlement, money laundering and tax evasion. Salameh faces investigations in Lebanon and at least five European countries, including into the alleged embezzlement of more than $300 million by him and his younger brother, Raja.
