In response to the news of the arrest, the bank issued a clarification statement in which it called the complaint "wrong, malicious and arbitrary, with no factual basis or legal justification," without explaining why Khalifé refused to appear before the court.

A decision was previously issued last March to freeze Khalifé's assets and ban him from traveling, after he didn't appear in court.
