A US State Department spokesperson denied on Friday that Washington was weighing sanctions against Lebanon's long-serving Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh.

"We have seen reports about possible sanctions on Riad Salameh. They are untrue," the spokesperson told Reuters.

A Bloomberg report on Thursday said the United States was considering sanctions against Salameh amid a broader investigation into the alleged embezzlement of public funds, citing four people familiar with the matter.
