"briefly as a potential target of
the lifting of bank secrecy laws. While Murr seems to have
no connection with Hariri's murder -- which took place when
Murr was living in Zurich in the aftermath of the September
2004 threats to his life -- he is rumored to have been linked
by financial corruption to the four Lebanese generals now in
custody. If the GOL decides to probe into the corruption
related to the notorious Bank al-Medina collapse, Murr will
most likely be implicated over some shady real estate deals.
He may be calculating that the sympathy he wins for being a
victim of Syrian aggression will help salvage his reputation
if the Bank al-Medina secrets are revealed. End comment." (thanks "Ibn Rushd")
