The Libyan authorities have found two bodies on the Mediterranean coast, in the north of the country, suspected to be immigrants.

The media office of the Ras Lanuf Security Directorate said that a body was recovered and transferred to a hospital to be placed in a mortuary refrigerator, until legal measures are taken by the competent authorities.

Moreover, another body was recovered from the seashore in the Umm Al-Khandafs area, decomposing.

The investigating officer said that he found a passport showing the identity of the body, which belonged to a Bangladeshi immigrant.

All necessary legal measures have been taken, according to the statement.

Last month, the Benghazi Security Directorate announced the arrest of a Bangladeshi man, who was part of an international human trafficking network. The detainee, who fled from Tripoli was involved in the abduction and torture of migrant workers.

In a statement, the Security Directorate said that information had been relayed to the detectives at the Bouatni Police Center about a Bangladeshi national who had come from Tripoli. He had rented a house in the Al-Masaken area, where he kidnapped Bangladeshi migrant workers, torturing them in return for ransom from their families.

The statement reported that the detainee had been smuggling people via the sea to Europe, using Libyan shores, charging each person 10,000 Libyan Dinars.

Brigadier Khaled Al-Tarhouni, the Head of the Center immediately issued instructions for the search and capture of the individual. Following legal procedures and permission from the Public Prosecution, the suspect’s house was raided, and he was detained. During the raid, another individual was found under duress; the victim revealed that the suspect had filmed him naked, and demanded a ransom of 60,000 Libyan Dinars from his family.

The detained suspect was taken to the police center where, upon questioning, he confessed to the crimes. On searching his phone, video clips were discovered showing the smuggling of illegal immigrants. All legal procedures have been taken against him, and he has been referred to the Public Prosecution.
