Iraq network threatens Lebanon's banking sector
(MENAFN) An Iraqi network has been eyeing Lebanon's banking sector, as it attempted to obtain cash from Lebanese banks before it was discovered in a joint operation with Iraqi authorities, a Lebanese security official unveiled.
The network has been detected, with several of the gang members arrested in coordination with Lebanon's General Directorate of General Security, Iraqi authorities said.
Head of General Security, Major General Abbas Ibrahim explained that the gang was looking to extort Lebanese banks through spreading fake news and information.
The major general stated "more than one bank was targeted but the big operations were happening against Bank Audi."
Ibrahim added "we want to see who is behind this gang...The matter may exceed $1 billion," noting "there is certainly targeting of the Lebanese banking sector."
