Sources concerned with the financial affairs of the “Republic” confirmed that “manipulating the price of the dollar is carried out by banking gangs, money changers, currency dealers and smugglers known by the names, their headquarters and the bodies associated with them, with the Banque du Liban and other Lebanese agencies.
