Lebanon Central Bank Governor’s Son Moved Millions Abroad While Lebanese Watched Blocked Savings Dwindle

In late 2019, a financial crisis led Lebanese banks to block most depositors from withdrawing or transferring U.S. dollars. But the central bank governor’s son was able to move more than $6.5 million overseas, leaked documents show.

Key Findings

  • Nady Salame, son of Lebanon’s central bank governor, was able to send over $6.5 million abroad while most Lebanese had their savings blocked.
  • Salame was also able to convert large amounts of Lebanese pounds at the official rate as the street value of the pound collapsed.
  • Salame’s transactions at the time included a payment to a luxury Italian furniture maker.
