Since 2005, General Aoun has been calling for forensic audit, and he was able to impose his signature as president in 2021, with strong opposition from the regime. Finally, the initial report appeared with a great delay and an incomplete copy due to Salameh obstructing and withholding many of the data requested by the company, and this alone deserves criminal prosecution,’ wrote the head of the Free Patriotic Movement, MP Gebran Bassil, via the “X” platform on Sunday. Bassil continued: ‘The report showed many violations and thefts of public funds and depositors’ money, and the most dangerous thing it revealed was that the cost of direct financial engineering, in addition to bonuses, amounting to $76 billion, which is equal to its financial gap.” “This is an unprecedented financial crime in the history of mankind, and the judiciary is responsible for the investigation, and the parliament must act because the Lebanese people have the right to know who stole their money,” FPM Chief went on. He concluded by saying: “We are facing a historical precedent in Lebanon: accountability, not pardon! The report is a condemnation of an entire political era, and of a system whose treasurer is the Central Bank governor,and is hostile to us in every way, and by buying off judges, media professionals and politicians, it shows how bribed they were when they cursed us in defense of the governor”.
