France, Germany and Luxembourg have frozen assets worth $130 million and seized five properties after an investigation into a scheme in Lebanon.
The EU’s justice agency claimed there were five individuals suspected in embezzling Lebanese public funds in a crime operation that went on for almost two decades and stole around $330 million.
The Eurojust agency, located in the Hague, has so far refused to publicly name the suspects, saying “they are assumed to be innocent until proven guilty”.
