OEIL: Oueidat requested to interrogate auditors of BDL accounts

The Observatoire Européen pour l’Integrité du Liban has said that General Prosecutor Ghassan Oueidat has received a request to interrogate several individuals responsible for auditing the accounts of the Central Bank.

A European judicial delegation from France, Germany, and Luxembourg had started to arrive in Lebanon this week to probe the country's Central Bank governor and dozens of other individuals over suspected corruption.

Oueidat received a request to interrogate Walid Naqour (Ernst & Young), Ramzi Accaoui (Ernst & Young), and Nada Maalouf, the OEIL said.

Oueidat had reportedly asked Attorney General Judge Ziad Abu Haidar to facilitate the work of the German judicial delegation seeking to look into the corruption case of Salameh and Abu Haidar tasked Judge Raja Hamoush to facilitate the delegation's mission, local media reports said.
