Law
This law makes usury a crime, defining it as non-commercial loans carrying interest above nine percent, and sets fines and imprisonment for lenders, with heavier penalties for repeat offenders, along with rules on publishing judgments and referring them to the public prosecution.
This act was published in the Lebanese Official Gazette in 1939. Its full text and the original scan are in the Gherbal National Gazette archive.
