Khoury: No attack on sovereignty if European teams respect norms
Caretaker Justice Minister Henri Khoury on Wednesday noted that “any international judicial cooperation that takes place according to the legal norms is not considered an attack on Lebanese sovereignty,” referring to the European judicial teams that have started arriving in Lebanon to question banking and financial officials in a case related to Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh and possibly the port blast case.
“We will confront any breach of norms,” Khoury added, at a press conference.
He also noted that Lebanon is a signatory of a U.N. anti-corruption treaty that obliges it to cooperate with other nations.
