British-Syrian doctor wins $4.2m high court case against Lebanese bank – The National
A doctor has won his court case to release $4.2 million trapped in a bank in Lebanon.
Dr George Bitar, a dual British-Syrian citizen who works as a consultant radiologist in London, had deposited millions in the Banque Libano-Francaise on the understanding he would be able to access the account from the UK.
However, after the 2019 economic crisis in Lebanon, the bank opted to limit international transfers in US dollars.
