National Central bank of Lebanon Governor, Riad T. Salame guilty of Money Laundry Organized Crime & Corruption
July 3, 2012 - Lebanon News Wire
After a series of correspondences with Lebanon's Central
bank Governor, Riad T. Salame, UANI CEO, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, outlined UANI's
findings in a May 28 letter to him:
As a result of the actions and omissions of BDL and the
LBS, Lebanon has become a sovereign money laundering jurisdiction that receives massive
inflows of illicit deposits.... from Hezbollah terror and criminal activities, and the
illicit symbiotic relationships among Iran, Syria and Hezbollah that is founded on
terrorism, the material support of terrorism, and weapons transfers, including as related
to weapons of mass destruction. Building upon a foundation of such massive inflows of
illegitimate monies, Lebanon has portrayed a false image of economic legitimacy and
stability to global markets, particularly as related to its sovereign bonds and related
securities including the credit default swaps ("CDS") that "insure"
those bonds. In fact, the real picture of Lebanon and its sovereign backed securities
reveals a fraud and market manipulation that is used by Hezbollah, BDL and the LBS to
continue money laundering on a massive scale. Attached to this letter, we provide a
detailed economic analysis in a presentation that describes this fraud.... BDL and the LBS
meet the criteria for determination under Section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001
("USA PATRIOT Act") as a jurisdiction of primary money laundering concern that
would result in their ban from the U.S. financial system.
