Koleilat was under suspicion for bank fraud and possible connections to the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
In 2003 her bank, Al-Madina, was found to be missing over $300 million dollars. She fled the country and wound up in Brazil. The UN questioned her for her role in the car bombings that claimed Hariri. Some believed she used her money from Al-Madina to fund the operation.
Brazil is allowing her to leave the country in eight days. She plans to go to a European country where she holds a citizenship card.
