Lebanon freezes former central bank chief’s bank accounts
Lebanon ordered the freezing of the bank accounts of its embattled former central bank governor on Monday, days after the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada slapped him with sanctions. Former governor Riad Salameh, 73, who left his post of 30 years at the end of last month without a successor, is widely viewed as a key culprit in the country's dramatic economic crash. The central bank's special investigation committee has ordered the lifting of banking secrecy as well as the freezing of accounts "that are directly or indirectly" linked to Salameh, it said in a statement. The same decision measures were applied to Salameh's son Nady, his brother Raja, his former assistant Marianne Hoayek and his former partner Anna Kosakova. On 10 August, the US Canada and Britain announced sanctions against Salameh, his brother Raja, and Hoayek, while Washington and London also included his former partner Kosakova in their lists. In addition, the US sanctioned his son Nady Salameh. Salameh is wanted in France and Germany, and Interpol has issued a Red Notice for his arrest, but Lebanon does not extradite its nationals. Lebanon's deeply divided political class has failed to agree on a permanent replacement for Salameh, creating another power vacuum in a country that also has no president and is ruled by a caretaker government. The central bank's first vice-governor, Wassim Manssouri, has temporarily picked up the reins. A preliminary forensic audit of Lebanon's central bank by professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) has painted a damning picture of the institution under Salameh.

Caloocan police re-arrest 3 of 13 inmates who escaped from their custody
Three of the 13 inmates who bolted a Caloocan City custodial facility early Thursday morning have already been re-arrested in various manhunt operations conducted following their escape.

(photo via Joseph Pedrajas/ MANILA BULLETIN) (photo via Joseph Pedrajas/ MANILA BULLETIN) (photo via Joseph Pedrajas/ MANILA BULLETIN) Danacao was apprehended in Barangay 8, Caloocan City at around 8:30 a.m., Espila in Camarin in Caloocan City-North at about 3:30 p.m. and Gamutia in Barangay Tonsuya, Malabon at 3:40 p.m. Danacao’s whereabouts was disclosed by his mother to police while Gamutia was captured after police received a tip via text message from a concerned citizen. The nine others still the subject of hot pursuit are: Martin Mama, 46; Gerrymar Petilla, 21; Hudson Jeng, 42; Reymark Delos Reyes, 27; Norbert Alvarez, 35; Jovel Toledo Jr., 27; Arnel Buccat, 19; Raymond Balasa, 35; Reynaldo Bantiling, 35; and Justine Tejeros, 22. According to Menor, the 13 made their breakaway from the Custodial Facility Extension Unit near City Hall at around 1:50 a.m. “during intermittent downpour of rain.” The police chief added that the detainees drilled a hole inside their cell using stones and concrete nails. In a police report, two of the 18 remaining detainees who opted to stay claimed that it “was Arnel Buccat and Raymond Balasa who serve as the ‘mayors’ and ‘vice- mayores’ of the detention facility who planned the escape.” Police said they found out that the temporary suspension of visitation rights and the scheduled transfer to Caloocan City Jail were the reasons behind the escape. Two police officers manning the detainees will face criminal charges, particularly evasion through negligence, and administrative charges in light of the incident, Menor said......»»
