Salameh faces allegations of crimes including embezzlement, money laundering and tax evasion in separate probes in Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...and Europe. His brother Raja and his associate Hoayek are accused of complicity.
The European judicial returned Monday to Lebanon to question Raja, Hoayek and others. Raja failed Tuesday and Wednesday to appear before the European delegation as his lawyer submitted a medical report.
Al-Jadeed TV reported that the delegation will continue Hoayek's questioning on Friday. A session for the interrogation of caretaker Finance Minister Youssef Khalil has meanwhile been scheduled for next Friday while a new session for Raja Salameh's questioning has been set for May 3.
