A criminal investigation into the accounts of the Banque du Liban !!
If the Minister of Finance, Ghazi Wazni, has altered the research contract in contravention of the decision of the Council of Ministers and the President of the Republic,

I mean, they removed him from his post to finish the investigation,
Good luck …– Major General Jamil Al-Sayed (@jamil_el_sayyed) September 6, 2020
On the other hand, the interim Finance Minister, Ghazi Wazni, denied that “the leaks that the official authorities have taken charge of what some media have reported on him making fundamental and fundamental modifications to the criminal audit contract.”
Wazni’s office confirmed in a statement that “the Legislation and Consultation Commission is a body that expresses an opinion on state contracts and its opinion is“ non-binding ”.
The statement noted that, “The Minister of Finance took most of the observations from the Commission on Legislation and Consultation, with the exception of the observation related to the Egmont Group, for the following reasons:
The government authorized the Minister of Finance to sign a forensic audit contract with Álvarez and did not require him to negotiate with a third party, the Egmont Group.
– The claimants to include the Egmont Group in the contract did not accept their opinion or approval if they wanted to participate in the contract.
– The contract with Alvarez is a criminal audit of the Banque du Liban, while the Egmont Group is a global forum or organization such as the Financial Action Task Force and the International Monetary Fund, consisting of 165 financial intelligence units aimed at the exchange of financial information, training, money laundering operations and terrorist financing, and Lebanon is a member through the Special Investigation Commission.
– This group has nothing to do with forensic auditing and does not care about the contract. The big scandal is the one that insisted on placing the Egmont group in the contract and what are its objectives and reasons.
The statement said that “the contract is a preliminary forensic audit report, and this is what was agreed between the ministerial commission in charge of the negotiation and Álvarez.”
The finance minister’s statement stated that “the finance minister will not ask Álvarez to direct his work and will not form the tripartite commission stipulated in the contract to follow up on the financial audit and will leave this task to the new government.”
The statement also highlighted that “the presidency of the republic had four points, and all of them were taken into account.”
