Judge Gha­da Aoun was at­tempt­ing to car­ry out an ar­rest war­rant for the bank’s gov­er­nor, Riad Salameh.

Lebanese may be sym­pa­thet­ic to pub­lic sec­tor work­ers strik­ing over wages, but frus­tra­tion at in­con­ve­nience re­mains.

The new gov­ern­ment has not yet said how it will use the des­per­ate­ly need­ed funds.

There are hopes fair ac­cess to jabs has been ad­dressed, al­though mi­grant work­ers ap­pear to be ex­clud­ed.

Pros­e­cu­tors al­lege Riad Salameh failed to en­sure for­eign cur­ren­cy re­serves were used for in­tend­ed pur­pos­es.

Phys­i­cal, psy­cho­log­i­cal scars still fresh in wake of the dead­ly blast that de­stroyed large swaths of Lebanon’s cap­i­tal.
