In a recent statement regarding the assassination attempt on Abdelmajid Meligta, the Ministry of Interior of the Government of National Unity (GNU) has made significant progress in the investigation.
The Ministry’s specialized agencies promptly initiated operations to search, investigate, and gather information about the incident. Their efforts have led to the identification of four suspects involved in the attempt, who subsequently fled to Tunisia.
The Ministry coordinated with Tunisian authorities through the Arab and International Criminal Police Office, resulting in the arrest of the suspects in Tunisia.
An agreement has been reached to extradite the suspects to Libyan authorities. They will be handed over to the Office of the Attorney General for further legal proceedings.
This swift action demonstrates the Ministry’s commitment to maintaining security and justice in Libya.
Notably, Libya’s Attorney General, Al-Siddiq Al-Sour, has received a decision from Libyan Intelligence Chief, Hussein Al-Ayeb, to lift the procedural restriction on 13 members of the agency. These individuals are accused of attempting to assassinate Abdulmajid Mliqta, head of the National Safety Authority under the Government of National Unity (GNU).
The decision followed a meeting between the Attorney General and the Intelligence Chief to discuss providing the prosecution with detailed information about the intelligence members involved in the plot against Mliqta.
Lifting the procedural block allows the Attorney General to initiate criminal proceedings against the accused and transfer the case to the judiciary.
Earlier this month, the Attorney General’s office announced the arrest of two intelligence agents implicated in the assassination attempt on Mliqta and the pursuit of other suspects involved in the plot.
The prosecution stated that it had investigated the incident involving a mobile device explosion in a vehicle. The investigation included examining the crime scene and analysing available information, which led to identifying the suspects in the assassination plot.
