2023 - 1: The Bank Raiders of Beirut

Krishnan Guru-Murthy reports on the political paralysis gripping Lebanon, where public services are in tatters, power cuts are routine, and because of hyperinflation medicine is expensive and in short supply. Across the nation, over a million people have been locked out of their bank accounts, able only to withdraw a few hundred pounds of their own money a month. Guru-Murthy interviews Riad Salameh, long-serving governor of the Central Bank, who since their discussion has charged with money laundering, illicit enrichment and embezzlement.
