A network of Lebanese
nationals and other non Lebanese reportedly related to terrorist organizations were
arrested by the Lebanese authorities for sabotage and threat to national
security.
The SIC investigations
and findings revealed the presence of bank accounts with small balances and decided
to lift bank secrecy off those accounts, freeze their balances and forward its
findings to the General Prosecutor. Consequently, judicial proceedings in line
with the Anti Money Laundering law 318 were initiated.
