NNA - The European Union's criminal justice cooperation agency Eurojust Monday said it assisted in freezing some 120 million euros ($132 million) of Lebanese assets linked to a money laundering investigation.

The properties and bank accounts, linked to five people suspected of embezzling around $330 million, were seized in France, Germany, Luxembourg, Monaco and Belgium, Eurojust said in a statement.

It did not identify the suspects. A Eurojust spokesperson declined to comment further and declined to name the suspects, in line with regulations.—Reuters
