Riad Salameh , 74 , was charged by the first examining magistrate of Mount Lebanon Nicola Mansour.

He was charged over an apartment that was rented in France to be a substitute office for the central bank if needed, officials say.

The former central bank governor has denied allegations of corruption, embezzlement and illicit enrichment.

He insists that his wealth comes from inherited properties, investments and his previous job.
