Libyan Attorney General, Al-Siddiq Al-Sour has ordered the detention of Al-Jumhuriya Bank officials, in the Al-Mustaqbal branch; for embezzling public money.

Al-Sour stated that the bank officials are also accused of “obtaining illegal benefits, intentional serious harm to public funds, and abuse of power.”

The accused were interrogated, where they confessed to “providing foreign exchange currency for personal purposes.”

The Attorney General is leading a campaign against corruption across state institutions. Dozens of officials and diplomats have been arrested in connection with embezzlement, corruption, and abuse of power.

Officials at Libya’s Shuwairf Villager Hospital have been arrested on charges of embezzling public funds estimated at 3.56 million Libyan dinars, the Attorney General’s Office announced on Tuesday.

The statement noted that the Director of the hospital, his Deputy, and the Acting Financial Controller were investigated on corruption charges. It added that the hospital’s contracting procedures were marred by fraud.

The three hospital officials conspired with a company not to provide the contracted supplies and equipment.

“The defendants submitted forged documents, stating that they had received medical equipment and supplies worth 3,560,000 dinars,” the statement explained.

Moreover, Al-Sour ordered the detention of the Financial Controller at the Libyan Embassy in Qatar, on corruption charges.

The Attorney General’s Office said in a statement that the Financial Controller has “defrauded Libya’s public fund, worth tens of thousands in foreign currency.” It did not clarify if this amount was in US Dollars or Qatari riyals.

The statement said that the Chief Prosecutor in the Attorney’s Office investigated the accused, after he received a report from the Financial Audit Bureau regarding financial irregularities.

The statement said that the financial controller and his predecessor “intended to abuse the powers of office. Investigations revealed the validity of the incident against the accused.”
