🇱🇧 In a significant development within Lebanon’s ongoing financial investigations, the General Director of Crédit Bancaire, Nayla Zeidan, was arrested on July 5, 2025, by a specialized unit from the Central Criminal Investigations Department. The operation was carried out under the direction of State Prosecutor Judge Jamal Al-Hajjar, as reported by the National News Agency.

Zeidan had been in hiding following the earlier arrests of Chairman Tarek Khalifeh and financial advisor Ralph Sayyad, both detained in connection with serious financial misconduct and alleged fraud within the bank’s operations. The details of the case are under strict legal scrutiny, with investigations expected to expand.

This arrest marks a new chapter in Lebanon’s crackdown on financial corruption amid growing public demand for transparency and accountability in the banking sector.
