Lebanon's judiciary has postponed a scheduled hearing for former central bank governor Riad Salameh, who faces embezzlement charges related to the country's financial crisis.
The court adjourned the session after Salameh failed to appear, citing illness as the reason for his absence, according to a judicial official speaking to AFP.
Salameh, who led the Banque du Liban for over a decade, remains a central figure in the legal reckoning following the collapse of Lebanon's banking sector.
His trial is one of several high-profile cases aimed at addressing the mismanagement and capital flight that precipitated the economic downturn.
The postponement underscores the ongoing challenges in Lebanon's judicial process, where health issues and procedural delays frequently complicate the prosecution of former officials.
Investors and observers continue to monitor these legal developments as indicators of the broader accountability efforts in the region.
