The U.S. on Thursday issued Lebanon-related sanctions targeting individuals including former governor of Lebanon's central bank, Riad Salameh, according to the U.S. Treasury Department website.
"Salameh abused his position of power, likely in violation of Lebanese law, to enrich himself and his associates by funneling hundreds of millions of dollars through layered shell companies to invest in European real estate," the department said in a statement.
The United Kingdom also sanctioned Salameh in separate action on Thursday.
