The Attorney General’s Office announced last Saturday (2 November) that a former Financial Controller in the Justice and Health Ministries has been detained, pending trial, for LD 8 million fraud.
The Attorney General’s Office said investigators had inferred that the accused had exploited his position by receiving commissions amounting to LD 8 from implementation agencies contracted by the Justice and Health Ministries to implement projects.
The accused incorporated the amount - for the purpose of disguising its source - into the procurement of real estate inside and outside Libya. Based on this, the investigator ordered his detention pending investigation.
