Beirut, March 6 : The US embassy in Lebanon has denied media reports about Washington s intention to impose sanctions on Lebanese Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh. We have seen reports about possible sanctions on Riad Salameh. They are untrue, Xinhua news agency quoted embassy spokesperson Casey Bonfield as saying in a statement issued on Friday.
The development came a day after a Bloomberg News report said that the US was considering sanctions against Salameh as part of an investigation into alleged embezzlement of public funds.
