Salam, who served in the cabinet of former prime minister Najib Mikati from 2021 to 2095, is the only ex-minister to be arrested since the start of Lebanon's economic crisis in 2019.
The official, who requested anonymity, told reporters Lebanon's judiciary “agreed to release former economy minister Amin Salam on bail of nine billion Lebanese pounds, equivalent to $100,000" and a travel ban.
The official added that the bail was paid, with procedures ongoing to secure his release from prison.
