Lebanese Judge Ghada Aoun (C), walks as she leaves the Lebanese Central Bank after members of the state security patrol raid the Banque du Liban in search of Riad Salameh central bank Governor, in Beirut, Lebanon, 19 July 2022. Lebanon opened a probe into Salameh's wealth last year after the office of Switzerland's top prosecutor requested assistance in an investigation into more than 300 million USD which he allegedly embezzled out of the central bank with the help of his brother.
